Since June 2011, I'm scientific officer of
INRIA Lille Nord Europe research center. Since September 2007, I'm research director at
INRIA Lille leading the
RMoD Team. During 10 years, I co-directed with Oscar Nierstrasz the
Software Composition Group. I was the leader of the
RECAST Project. I'm the president of
ESUG. Here is a short
CV.
According to google scholar my h-index is 41 and my g-index is 70 - Maximum Cites: 343. According to
CiteSeer, I'm at rank 3194 of most cited computer scientists.
- Received a "Prime d'excellence scientifique" from INRIA (2012).
- Distinguished Visiting Fellowship Award of the Royal Academy of Engineering (2011).
- Veronica Uquillas Gomez won the Benevol most promising young research Award (2011).
- Mariano Martinez-Peck and Martin Diaz won for Fuel the 2011 ESUG Technology Award.
- Dynamic web development with Seaside: Our new free open-source Seaside book won the ESUG member 2010 best book Award.
- Michele Lanza (2003) and Alexandre Bergel (2006) PhD theses won the Ernest Denert foundation for Software Engineering Award.
- Learning Programming with Robots received the Award of PCPlus magazine of September 2005 and the Bitwise Recommended Award in February 2006.
- I was general chair of ESUG 2011.
- We got a new associated team named Plomo with Pleiad of University of Chile at Santiago.
- We are setting up an INRIA consortium with industrial partners around Pharo. Pharo 1.3 is out and 1.4 is in alpha.
- Pharo By Example is free and out (in spanish, french, english and japanese)!
- Moose. Moose is a software analysis meta-described platform that allows one to understand and analyze object-oriented applications developed in Smalltalk, Java or C++. Moose 4.3 is out.
My research statement is double: (1) How can we help companies to support the evolution and maintenance of their large applications and (2) how can we improve languages to better support evolution?
I'm interested in all the aspects of software evolution and maintenance of large systems. I consulted for companies. Do not hesitate to contact me. I'm interested in your problems.
I'm interested in revisiting foundational bricks of object-oriented languages such as encapsulation, reuse, message passing. Now I start to work on isolation and security in reflective object-oriented languages.
Here are some of the international conferences I was PC member. Now with my new responsibilities I decline more often committees participation.
