Nicolas Masselot

Student at ESCP Business School (#6 worldwide in the 2026 Financial Times Master in Management ranking). At OVHcloud, Europe’s leading cloud provider, I work across cloud and AI infrastructure, customer needs, and technical deployment.

Research

  • Signed Difference Sets — v1.1 public release, with revised manuscript and reproducibility package. Expert-reviewed; no journal acceptance.
  • AES S-box circuits — NIST lists the 158-XOR/depth-30 and 159-XOR/depth-29 variants. An earlier 161-XOR circuit was independently checked.
  • C(16,7,3) — a 23-block candidate covers 558 of 560 triples; the general problem remains open.

Writing

  • How I work with AI — my personal stack for memory, research, coding and everyday administration, with the working rules behind it.
  • Cloud, Compute, and Sovereignty — a 30-page independent working paper on cloud economics, AI infrastructure and European digital sovereignty, available in English and French.
