PhD in Security and Privacy

(New home page: Bussard.Fr)

Technical background

Since end of 2004, I'm working at the European Microsoft Innovation Center (Aachen, Germany) and I am involved in European research projects related to security and privacy. In 2004, I finished my PhD in network security at Eurecom Institute (Sophia-Antipolis, France) and ENST (Paris) with Prof. Refik Molva as supervisor. The main topic of this work was security of pervasive computing environments in terms of access control, trust establishment, and privacy. I received my MS in networks and distributed systems (DEA-RSD) from the ESSI and INRIA (Sophia) in 2000. From 1995 to 1999, I worked as an engineer in software development at Siemens in Switzerland where I was involved in projects related to the telecommunication management network. Before, I studied telecommunication at EIVD (Yverdon, Switzerland).
