CURRENT MISSION Turning (some of) my dreams into reality... ABOUT ME Actual job : I'm an electronic engineer, currently studying hardware attacks against enciphering chips, like bank cards for example (hacking). I'm doing it at the University of Louvain-la-Neuve (south of Brussels). Also developing electronic instruments (theremin and synthesizer), and learning to play cello. Lots of blabla below, if you wanna know... Previous occupations: - teaching secondary school math and physic classes, for pupils 16, 17 and 18 y/o. I love this job and do it sometimes when I have time. - self-employed electronic engineer, or how to spend many hours 7 days a week in a lab in my basement, soldering and designing board for museums and industries. I'm continuing this activity in my free-times. - cyclotron field-engineer. Traveling with nice colleagues to repair particle accelerators was fun, exciting, scaring and exhausting. Especially recommended if you like to work by night in radioactive bunkers. - photographer. I've have shown my work in 2009 and 2010, but am a bit pausing now. Pics are in the album 'some photographs'. PHILOSOPHY Philosophy at work : Just do it now ! Philosophy on CS : Exploring the world is exploring oneself... or is it the opposite ? ;-)
