Education and career

Cortier studied mathematics and computer science at the École normale supérieure de Cachan from 1997 until 2001, earning a master's degree and completing her agrégation. She remained at Cachan for her doctoral studies, completing a Ph.D. in 2003 with the dissertation Automatic Verification of Cryptographic Protocols supervised by Hubert Comon. She joined the French Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) in 2003, completed a habilitation in 2009, and became a director of research with CNRS in 2010.[2]

Recognition

Cortier was the 2003 winner of the Gilles Kahn Prize of the Société informatique de France for the best French dissertation in computer science.[3] She also won a second dissertation prize, from Le Monde.[3][4] In 2015 she became the second woman to win the INRIA and French Academy of Sciences Young Researcher Award for her work on Belenios, a secure electronic voting system.[3][5] In 2022 she won the CNRS Silver Medal.[6]
