Bienvenue, welcome, herzlich willkommen!
I am a researcher at the
Inria Nancy research center,
a branch of Inria,
the French national research institute for computer science,
and a member of LORIA,
the laboratory for computer science and its applications in
Nancy.
I have been the head of the
VeriDis team of
Inria Nancy and LORIA since January 2010.
My scientific interests lie in the area of formal verification, in particular of
distributed algorithms and systems. With the members of our team, I am working
on methods, techniques, and tools in this field, including theorem proving and
model checking. The two main software tools to which our team contributes are the
TLA+ Proof System and the
veriT SMT solver.
From 2016 to 2021, I was the head of science
(délégué scientifique)
of the Inria Nancy research center. As such,
I was an ex officio member of Inria's
evaluation committee.
From 2008 to 2017, I was nominated by Inria as a member of the
Scientific Directorate of Schloss Dagstuhl -
Leibniz Center for Informatics.
From 2012 to 2016, I was co-head of the PhD committee
for computer science of the graduate school IAEM.
From 2005 to 2011, I was an elected member of INRIA's
evaluation committee, and from 2008 to 2012, I was a member of Section 7 of the
National Committee of
Scientific Research (CoNRS).
Together with colleagues in Liège, Luxembourg, and Saarbrücken
I am an organizer of the annual summer school
VTSA
(Verification Techniques, Systems, and Applications).
