Hi. My name is Raphaël, I'm a French PhD student in cryptography and machine learning.
I've got a Bachelor's degree in physics and mathematics and a Master's degree in mathematics/computer science, so I obviously like science, but I'm also interested in music, cinema, video games, animes and programming (even though I'm not really skilled). I've also been into krav maga for some time, too (I've been practising it for about three years)
I'm also an agnostic atheist, and a rationalist.

If I didn't scare you, and you wish to know more about me or just talk about something, you can drop a message.

I don't really have any request, except maybe to try to write properly, and also to not just send one line in your first message, I don't know how to answer to those.

I could continue for a long time here, there are too many movies I like a lot.

I don't really like TV, and haven't watched it for years.

But i guess I could put some animes here. So far, I've watched more than 150 series, of varied genres. Here are some that I liked :

I don't read a lot, but I really liked "les fourmis" from Boris Vian and "The picture of Dorian Gray" from Oscar Wilde.
And I also enjoy reading mathematics/programming/AI books once in a while.
