Role Masters studentDescriptionI am interested in forensic sciences, cyberspaces, cybercrimes, and everything related to geopolitical conflicts. I completed my bachelor's degree in criminology in the winter of 2023 at the University of Montreal and I am currently in the master’s degree in criminology, forensics and informations option. As part of the EconCrime Lab, I am working on a research with Flare System. We are analyzing data from their database on cybercrime forums. The aim is to understand how cybercriminals exploit geopolitical conflicts in these forums and whether these events influence cybercriminal exchanges. My thesis will also focus on these interactions.
