He got his PhD degree in Computer Science with highest honors in 2000 in the area of program optimization and compilation. He has a strong experience in research in memory management, program analysis and optimization, compilation, impact of the hardware-software interface on performance, energy issues in software, program visualization, and cybersecurity. He has been Principal Investigator in two ANR-funded national French projects and partners in several more, and he is the Coordinator for the EU H2020 project TeamPlay on adding non-functional properties to IT systems. He co-advised 4 successful PhD theses in these domains, and is currently co-advising 2 others. He was a key designer and implementer of SmartEiffel, The GNU Eiffel Compiler, and a member of the NICE Eiffel language standardisation consortium. He has designed and developed or supervised the design and development of numerous research prototypes, including the software platform of the Open-PEOPLE (Open-Power and Energy Optimization PLatform and Estimator) project, SPECO (Software Platform for the Evaluation of Compilation Optimizations), OPCIM (Open-PEOPLE Continuous Integration Mechanism), VITRAIL (Advanced ReaL-Time Immersive VIsualisation of Software) and JbinsTrace (Java Bytecode instrumentation and Tracing, aka VITRAIL Tracer). He is a founder of the ICOOOLPS series of workshops. He has been a reviewer for many conferences and journals (including AMAST, ARCS, CASSIS, CIEL, ECOOP, ETFA, ICOOOLPS, ICSE, IES, IPDPS, JEC, JFLA, JISE, LMO, MSR, PECCS, RTNES, RTS, TOOLS, TSI, SAC-OSAA, SPE…), a member of many conference organizing and program committees (AMBIANT, CC, CIEL, DASIP, ECOOP, ETR, ICOOOLPS, JFLA, LMO, PECCS, RESoLVE) and a member of many PhD juries.
