Master's, module "Techniques de communication – Culture entrepreneuriale" · 2025–2026

Supervised by Pr. Soumaya Houari

I presented this paper (in French) about free software as an economic phenomenon: how thousands of volunteers build excellent software like Linux, without a boss or an owner. The paper calls this "commons-based peer production", a third way to produce next to the firm and the market.

Coursework

Patent drafting exercise: adaptive system for low-frequency magnetic field cancellation with digital signal processing

Original title: « Système adaptatif de régulation de l'ambiance électromagnétique par traitement numérique en boucle fermée et synthèse d'ondes biocompatibles »

Master's, module "Innovation et propriété intellectuelle" · Apr 2026

As a team, we wrote a patent-style document (prior art, claims and drawings) for a system that cancels low-frequency magnetic fields with digital signal processing. It is not a filed patent, but a project to teach us how to write a patent for an invention.
