Experiences
  • This PhD is conducted in the team CELL of the laboratory ETIS ans is cofinanced by APSYS.
  • Failures of safety-critical embedded systems used in industries such as aeronautics, automotive, railway or nuclear can lead to catastrophic consequences. These complex systems, also known as Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), also have to deal with cyber-attacks, which cause serious dysfunctions and undermine the security of such systems. The relationships between security and safety are thus at the heart of the current concerns of specialists in the field of complex embedded systems. In fact, one can no longer consider designing safe systems without ensuring they also secured. A vulnerability may compromise the functional safety of an autonomous car; on the other hand, a safety constraint such as the introduction of redundant components or diagnostic ports can increase the attack surface of such a system.
  • To study of the links between safety and security, our proposal builds upon the idea of extending the different mechanisms present in AltaRica, a formal language dedicated to the safety analysis of complex systems, in order to model and verify security properties. This is a "secured by design" approach, as it operates right from the design phase of the system, which, we believe, will reduce the development costs and prevent future errors.
  • Definition of new methods of evaluating UAV fallout probabilities.
  • Appropriation of AltaRica language and Cecilia Workshop tool.
  • Use of Monte Carlo and variance reduction (Importance Sampling) methods.
  • Bibliographic search on:
    • methods and tools for the evaluation of UAS dependability.
    • regulations on UAS safety and dependability.
    • failure data on UASs' components.
  • Interfacing of several tools with Python to provide a sound probability of lethal impact of the drone.
  • Evaluation of the method on a fixed wing aircraft built in ONERA.
  • Publication of an article in ESREL 2021 (to be published).
  • Identification of the reliability of an COTS onboard computer.
  • Failures caracterization
  • Risk analysis
  • Bibliographic search on COTS reliability analysis
  • Design of Reliability demonstration testing, accelerated testing and Bayesian testing
  • Help to the developpement and validation of a Model Based Safety Assessment tool.
  • Enrichment and validation of the knowledge basis (FIGARO language).
  • Test models, documentation (30 pages) on the validation.
  • Participation at the benchmark: "A Benchmark on Reliability of Complex Discrete Systems : Emergency Power Supply of a Nuclear Power Plant" launched by Marc Bouissou for the "Institut pour la maîtrise des risques" in March 2017.
  • Actor of the school's communication at forums and High Schools visits.
  • Oversaw and organised sport activities
  • Supervised groups and managed conflicts.
  • Creation of a meeting program in C# for the University.
  • State of art on the norm ISO26262 and ASILs optimisation
  • Deepening of English
  • Prepared truck parts for the assembly line.
  • Understood what the difficulties and issues of an operator are.

Education

Engineering course

Portfolio

Wifi module

This module was used to send the data of the shoes to a smartphone in order to process the data and store it after the run.

Prototypes

With a partner, we created a pair of connected shoes.
The goal was to know which strength was applied to which part of the shoe when you are running. Then we were able to know if someone was running in a convenient of dangerous way.
It required skills in Electronics, Electricity and Soldering. Also in Aduino programming and Data Processing
