Engineering Course
Toulouse La Prépa des INP
2022 - 2024
During my two years in the integrated preparatory program at INP Toulouse, I developed strong foundations in mathematics and physics.
In my second year, I specialized in advanced math and physics, with additional focus on applied and fundamental mathematics, continuum mechanics, and mechanical technology.
One project that stood out was a 120-page book my team and I wrote on Hilbert space theory, which deepened my technical writing and teamwork skills.
Overall, this preparatory phase equipped me with essential tools for engineering studies, both academically and personally.
Toulouse INP-ENSEEIHT
2024 - Present
I am currently in my second year specializing in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, and Automation (3EA - Electronics track) at ENSEEIHT (N7).
Known for its engineering excellence, ENSEEIHT offers an environment geared toward hands-on learning and innovation, which is ideal for mastering technical skills in these fields.
For next semester, I plan to choose the IATI specialization with TSE (Traitement du Signal Embarqué) deepening, which focuses on deploying AI models on embedded systems such as FPGAs. This aligns perfectly with my interest in combining artificial intelligence with hardware development for advanced applications.
Internship

Research Intern in Complex Systems Engineering
April 29, 2024 - June 14, 2024
Conducted research on security mechanisms and threats in satellite communications (SATCOM) within the Connected Systems (SysCo) research group.
Key tasks included:
- Performing an in-depth literature review on SATCOM protocols.
- Developing a taxonomy of security mechanisms specific to SATCOM.
- Creating an AI-based tool for efficient document analysis across a large dataset.
This internship provided valuable skills in scientific research and cybersecurity, especially relevant to SATCOM within the emerging 6G landscape.
StromaLab
Observation Intern in Tissue Regeneration Research
February 2019
This one-week internship at StromaLab offered an introduction to research in tissue and organ regeneration.
Key learning points included:
- Understanding the basics of tissue integrity and its regeneration processes in adult mammals.
- Observing how stromal cells, particularly mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), contribute to tissue homeostasis and regeneration.
- Exploring the importance of stroma in both normal and pathological hematopoiesis.
This experience allowed me to gain insight into the research environment and the mechanisms behind tissue regeneration, sparking my interest in the life sciences.
International Mobility
Professional Communication and English
Taking the Professional Communication and English course as part of my engineering studies equips me with key skills for international experiences, such as mastering professional email writing, networking effectively, and handling video communication.
This course is crucial in preparing me for multicultural interactions and enhancing my confidence in English for future internships and professional settings.
Research Internship in Ecuador - USFQ
From June to August 2026, I will complete my international mobility internship at Universidad San Francisco de Quito (USFQ) in Ecuador, focusing on AI applied to embedded systems (FPGA).
