Welcome! I am a postdoctoral researcher in web security and privacy at the DistriNet research unit of KU Leuven, under the supervision of prof. Lieven Desmet and prof. Wouter Joosen.

My research interests lie in exploring large web ecosystems, understanding how to detect and mitigate harmful online content, and both analyzing and improving current research methods. I maintain Tranco, a research-oriented top sites ranking.

You can take a look at my publications or my CV.

I participate in Stellar Vector, the CTF team powered by DistriNet and KU Leuven. Join our events to hack and have fun!

My first name is “Victor”, my last name is “Le Pochat”, two words as is customary for Breton surnames.
