Publications

Hierarchical Trace Format: Performance Analysis for Exascale Computing

Catherine did a 5-months internship at Télécom SudParis under Francois Trahay and Valentin Honoré to prepare her PhD. The report for this intership is available for everyone to read here, alas only in French.

Past Experiences

Club Code: Head of Teaching for a student coding club

During her second and third school years at Telecom SudParis, Catherine was the head of teaching at her school's coding club, a student club under MiNET. This meant she reused previous teaching material to teach various subjects to interested students, as well as developed some new brand formations on subjects she wanted to teach. Most of these are available here as pptx or pdf files.

Game Development: Magic Maze

A game development project where Catherine worked in a team as they tried to adapt the board game "Magic Maze" into a video game, coded in Java and Kotlin. She was tasked with making the multiplayer and networking part of the game, but also made some other aspects of the game. The code of the game is accessible on her GitHub page.

Advent of Code

A yearly online event during the month of December. Each day, a problem is submitted, and you may solve it. She has participated in 2020 (in Java), in 2021 (in Kotlin), and in 2022 (using the Native implementation of Kotlin).

Database and Workflow Optimization: AstraZeneca Internship

AstraZeneca employed Catherine twice as an intern. During these, she worked on databases using DAX and PowerBI, and she developed an algorithm to optimize the schedule of workers according to their qualifications. It was during this second internship that she participated in developing a Java REST API for interacting with Sharepoint.

Personnal Projects

Localhost Jukebox

In 2021, she began working on maintaining an already existing application, designed to be used as a music player on Linux, with a web interface so that everyone on a local network could add their music. This software, written in Python with a MPV integration, was thus completely overhauled, and now uses yt-dlp for better performances, has been fully documented, and has a more modern web interface. Its source code is available on GitLab.
