Summary
Loïc Rouquette is a research-focused software engineer and PhD candidate turned enseignant-chercheur with around a decade of experience blending constraint programming, optimization and cryptanalysis to tackle differential attacks on symmetric ciphers. After five years in the French military he transitioned to computer science (DUT, INSA Lyon MSc/PhD) and now builds novel algorithms and modelling tools at the intersection of operational research and cryptanalysis. His background also spans 25+ years of work on automated hexahedral mesh generation, multithreading and GPU computing with INRIA’s Gamma team, giving him deep systems and parallel-computing expertise rarely seen alongside cryptanalysis. Practical engineering roles in industry and academia have honed his skills in data structures, algorithm design, multi-language development (Java/Kotlin, Python) and team leadership. He seeks technically challenging positions that combine rigorous algorithmic work, collaboration with passionate peers and real-world impact.
