What I'm interested in

My research activities in Software Engineering focus on software safety in the context of Model-Driven Engineering (MDE). More precisely I investigate the following areas:
  • (meta/mega) Modeling, and Domain Specific Modeling Language,
  • Software Language Engineering,
  • Formal behavioral semantics of languages,
  • Models at runtime, and models Validation & Verification,
  • Software Development Process & Business Process Management,
  • Systems Engineering and Autonomic Computing.

Teaching

Since September, 2009, I am associate professor at the University of Rennes 1. I teach software engineering mainly in the engineering school ESIR (formerly DIIC), and in several masters (ISTIC). I teach especially the following courses:

Moreover, I am teaching Model Driven Engineering (MDE) in several other engineering schools (ENSEEIHT, INSA Toulouse, and INSA Rennes), and universities (M2 IUP NTIE, University of Toulouse 2).

Previously, I was a teacher assistant at the IUT B de Blagnac from 2004 to 2005 (Vacataire in french), and at the INPT ENSEEIHT engineering school, in the Telecommunications & Networks department, from 2005 to 2008 (Moniteur in french). I took part in the following modules: Model-Driven Engineering, Object-Oriented Programming (Java), Algorithmic and Programming (Pascal, C), Systems/Unix, Human-computer interaction, and Web technologies. I also realized the Software Engineering course (40h) in Master 2 (Research) at the University of Yaounde I (Cameroun) from 2007 to 2008.

Short Biography

I received a master's degree in 2005, and a Ph.D. degree in 2008 (see the Leopold Escande Award 2008 and the related page) in Computer Science from the University of Toulouse, France. In October, 2008, I joined the AtlanMod team (Inria, EMN) for a post-doctoral position funded by Inria. All along this time, I have evolved in model driven engineering, mainly exploring behavioral semantics of DSML for model validation and verification. I was also a teacher assistant at the IUT B de Blagnac (2004-2005), at the INPT ENSEEIHT school of engineering (2005-2008), and at the INSA Toulouse school of engineering (2006-2009).

Since September 2009, I am associate professor at University of Rennes 1. I am evolving within the research team Triskell (IRISA and Inria Labs) led by Benoit Baudry. I am interested in software engineering, including model driven engineering (MDE), software language engineering (SLE) and validation & verification (V&V). I am also teaching object-oriented programming and modeling, MDE and V&V in the engineering school ESIR. Finally, I am taking part in the MDE and V&V courses of several engineering schools and masters.
