I am an assistant professor at the Department of Computer Science and Operations Research of the Université de Montréal, working in the GEODES Software Engineering Research Group (see more).

I work to create formal but practical techniques and methods for engineering software. To do this, I draw from disciplines such as formal verification, model-based engineering, and empirical methods. I study the context of software development and create novel techniques that use domain-specific abstractions that are supported by rigorous automation.

My research interests include, among others, automated software engineering. I am particularly interested in model transformations learning from examples using evolutionary approaches. I also work on reverse engineering (comprehension) and reengineering (refactoring, migration to component-based software, etc.) of software using static and dynamic analysis. My concerns also include visualization of large sets of multidimensional data for software comprehension and maintenance.

My main research interests are in model-based design, in particular model transformation design and verification, model-driven methodology, simulation-based design, and application of MDE in non-computer science domains.
