2020

edX certificate

IsraelX

During the covid-19 lockdown I followed a course offered by IsraelX on www.edx.org : unlocking information security. I learned how systems are hacked and defended.

2017 - 2019

Bac +2 (120 ECTS)

Prep school, lycée Pothier

MPSI, MP*
Two-year intensive preparation for the national competitive entrance exams to leading French engineering schools. Maths, physics, computer science.

These two years in maths-physics preparatory classes taught me to be rigorous and to work efficiently even in times of great stress. In addition, I have acquired scientific knowledge in many areas of physics and mathematics.

2017

Baccalaureate

Lycée Jean Zay

With honours, maths, physics, natural sciences, intensive English.

Experience

2022 - 2025

PhD Student

CEA

PhD subject: Exploration of heterogeneous high data rate streamed and programmable electronic architectures for real-time applications in nuclear instrumentation.

I work on the possibility of executing heavy signal treatments algorithms in real-time on novel electronic architectures such as GPUs.

2022

Engineering Intern

Polytechnique Montréal

I joined the NSERC Industrial Research Chair for High-Speed and Programmable Packet Processing for 6 months. I did a case study targeting the Intel® N3000 PAC FPGA board and its design flow using the P4 language.

2021

Side-Channel Attacks Engineering Intern

Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.

I did a 6 months internship at the Qualcomm security lab in Cork, Ireland.

As an engineering intern at the Qualcomm security lab in Cork, I implemented side-channel attack techniques in order to add features to the lab in-house tools. I led practical experimentations with continuous improvements on industrial devices by looking for new solutions in the recent scientific literature.

During this internship I particularly enjoyed working in a laboratory. In particular, I really enjoyed exploring the scientific literature to understand a subject in depth and the state of research to date on this subject. The freedom and autonomy given to me by my internship supervisor allowed me to accomplish my work while being able to make original proposals to solve the problems I faced.

2020

Intern

NPS Diesel

I worked with a technical team to repair diesel power generators on yachts in Antibes, France.

2019

Digger

Departmental Archaeology Service of Aveyron, France

Excavation traineeship. I worked as a volunteer on a protohistoric excavation site from Iron Age.

Doing this internship was very fulfilling and allowed me to learn a lot about archeology, a subject that has interested me since I was a child. Archaeology being totally disconnected from my studies, this internship allowed me to meet people with a totally different mindsets than the people I usually meet.

2019, 2018, 2017 summers

Summer jobs

Limpa Nettoyages, John Deere

2014

Trainee

CNRS (French national centre of scientific research)

Observation placement. I visited laboratories of the CNRS campus in Orléans.

Projects

Password wallet

Password wallet is C-coded program to save passwords based on SHA-256 hash function and XOR-encryption. Its code is available here.

C Messenger

Matthias Hallgren and I created a chatrooms system, similar to what Facebook Messenger does. We used a static multithreaded Client/Server architecture. Client and server communicate with TCP/IP sockets. Its code is available here.

VHDL modelisation of the AES-128 and design on FPGA

As a school project, I modelised the encryption algorithm AES-128 using the hardware description language VHDL and the modelisation software ModelSim. I coded the four basic operations that make up the AES, the key expander function and the associated FSM. The associated design report can be found here in French. Then, I implemented this AES algorithm on an FPGA.

julienmas.github.io

Personal website developped with HTML5, CSS3, and javascript. The code of this website is available here.

Les Entrepreunariales

Les Entrep' is an 18-week field training program in business creation that allows each young person to reveal his or her entrepreneurial potential and forge professional links with the business world.
I created a business plan for a new indoor connected greenhouse with 3 teammates : Naïma Benali, Lahrache Omar and Hafssa Merzoug. An industrial design student, Yohan Bonnet, imagined with us the design of the greenhouse, wich you can see below.

Autonomous car model

I built a model car capable of staying between 2 laser beams independently with my teammate Eliott. I analyzed its trajectory thanks to a simulation of the car coded with Python. You can see more about it here.

Interests

Musician

I play the trumpet since I am 7 years old. I played an opera (Aïda from Verdi) in Orléans’s Zénith.
I also play bass guitar in a band (45Tours) and guitar. Here is a link to find our latest release on all streaming platforms.

Volunteer maths teacher

Once a week, I help kids from my neighborhood with their maths assignement in a community café.

Nature enthusiast

I have an interest in hikings (Gorges du Verdon, Alps, Ireland, ...). I also volunteered in an organic farm with the WWOOF organisation to learn about organic farming.
