Who I am
I am professor of computer science at Université Cote d’Azur. I am head of the SCALE team at the I3S lab. I am also in charge of apprenticeship for master students (detailed description in french) of EUR DS4H.
I am broadly interested in logic, program verification, and concurrency theory, and particularly these last years in separation logic, automata with buffering, and higher-order model-checking.
I am looking for interns, phD students, and postdocs interested in these topics. Send me an email if you are interested.
Short bio
I graduated at LIP, ENS Lyon and at CITI, Universidade Nova de Lisboa. My PhD advisors were Daniel Hirschkoff and Luis Caires. I was assistant professor at LSV, ENS Cachan (now ENS Paris-Saclay), from 2004 to 2017, with a long sabbatical from 2009 to 2014. From 2009 to 2011 I was a visiting researcher at RWTH Aachen in the group of Joost-Pieter Katoen. From 2011 to 2014, I was an “advanced postdoc” in the group of Martin Lange at the university of Kassel.
Teaching
I teach at Université Cote d’Azur. See my teaching page (in french) for more details about recent teaching.
