In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

In 2012, I earned a double degree: an Electrical Engineering degree in Communications and Networks from Toulouse ENSEEIHT and a Research Master degree in Telecommunications from Institut National Polytechnique de Toulouse.Yogi Berra — Baseball player
Driven by the challenges of digital communications and coding theory in the context of satellite communications, I pursued a PhD funded by the French Space Agency (CNES) and Thales Alenia Space. My doctoral research, conducted within the Signal and Communication Group at IRIT, focused on the design and the optimization of sparse graph-based error correction coding schemes for continuous phase modulations. This work bridged the gap between receiver complexity trade-offs and the joint optimizations of channel coding and modulation for satellite return links.
Following my PhD, I joined IMT Atlantique as an Assistant Professor (Maître de conférence) from 2016 to 2020, where I had both pedagogical responsibilities and advanced research activities in digital communications applied to satellite communications.
Since 2020, I joined Thales Alenia Space as an R&D Engineer in the emerging field of Satellite Optical Communications. In this role, I architect physical layer solutions and end-to-end system design for very high-throughput optical feeder links. This position allows me to bridge the gap between academic theory and rigor with the industrial constraints and applications.
