Since August 2023, I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the Faculty of Engineering at McGill University. My research interests include software reverse engineering, knowledge extraction and representation, variability management and modeling, and software repository mining.

I received a Ph.D in Computer Science in 2018 from the University of Montpellier (France), during which I worked with symbolic AI for model extraction and software product line reverse engineering. I continued this work with complex software product lines as a teaching and research assistant between 2018 and 2019. From 2019 to 2020, I worked on problematics related to knowledge representation, interoperability and ontology matching at the French National Institute for Sustainable Development (IRD). Between 2020 and 2023, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Geodes group at the University of Montréal. I obtained an IVADO postdoctoral research funding in October 2020 to work on machine learning and optimisation approaches for source code recommendation.
