Overview

I currently hold a post-doctoral position within the Chair of Software Engineering at ETH Zurich. I am working on theoretical aspects of the SCOOP model for concurrent programming. I defended my PhD at the École Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications in Paris (France), in 2002. I wrote my thesis under the supervision of Prof. Elie Najm; the subject of the thesis was Assume/Guarantee Contracts in a Timed Calculus of Mobile Objects.

Areas of research

I am essentially working on theoretical aspects of computer science and programming, with a strong emphasis on concurrency,  distribution, and real-time systems. During my post-doctoral sojourn at ETH Zurich, my goal is to improve and give formal foundations to the SCOOP  model, so that it becomes the most practical way to produce efficient, object-oriented, distributed programs. This implies engaging into a thorough examination of the semantic issues related to distributed contracts and formal languages, of the properties one would wish to verify, of the algorithms that would allow these properties to be verified efficiently, and of the leverage such results could exercise on practical developments. My work will address mainly two concrete problems, that are improving the efficiency of the synchronization mechanism in SCOOP on the one hand, and the extension of SCOOP to handle real-time on the other hand.

Other centers of interest I have include operating systems, middleware, fault tolerance, and mobility of code.

Personal

I sometimes enjoy dancing and becoming more and more deaf at punk rock concerts. I like jazz, too ...
