Nour EL MADHOUN

Teacher-Researcher, PhD

I'm currently an Associate Professor of "Computer Science, Cybersecurity and Blockchain" and head of the engineering cycle "Digital Security and Networks" at Isep - Engineering School in Paris. I'm also an Associate Researcher at Sorbonne Université/LIP6 (in the PHARE team from 2020 to 2022 and in the NPA team from November 2022) and at Université Paris-Saclay/LISN (in the ROCS team). I received my Master’s degree in Networks/Computer Science from Sorbonne Université/Télécom ParisTech in 2014, and my Ph.D. degree in Cybersecurity/Computer Science from Sorbonne Université in 2018. At Sorbonne Université, I became an ATER in 2017. In 2018, I gained industry experience through working as a post-doctoral researcher on blockchain and smart-contract technologies at Orange Labs.
My current research focuses on network security, cryptographic protocols, EMV payment systems, NFC technology, blockchain and smart contract technologies, as well as the use of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) for cybersecurity.
I have co-edited the following six Springer books: Emerging Trends in Cybersecurity Applications (with Kevin Daimi, Abeer Alsadoon, Cathryn Peoples), Principles and Practice of Blockchains (with Kevin Daimi, Ioanna Dionysiou), Building Cybersecurity Applications with Blockchain and Smart Contracts (with Ioanna Dionysiou, Emmanuel Bertin), Blockchain and Smart Contract Technologies for Innovative Applications (with Ioanna Dionysiou, Emmanuel Bertin), Blockchain-based Web of Things Security: Advances, Challenges, and Solutions (with Saad El Jaouhari), and Securing the Digital Supply Chain: Advances, Challenges, and Solutions (with Badis Hammi).
