I am a CNRS research scientist in the Software Engineering Group of LaBRI (Bordeaux, France). Previously, I was for three years a post-doc researcher in the Software Analysis and Transformation group of CWI (Amsterdam, Netherlands). Before that, I was a pre-doc researcher in the DiverSE group of IRISA (Rennes, France).

My main research interests include:

• Software language engineering
• Domain-specific languages
• Exploratory and live programming
• Empirical software engineering
• and software engineering as a whole!

I am a regular reviewer for several journals (e.g., SoSyM, COMLAN) and I am involved in various committees of popular conferences in the field (recently at GPCE'20, MODELS'20, SLE'19, GPCE'19, MODELS'19). More information in my CV.
