Research

Activities

Since 2020, I am associate professor at the University of Nice Côte d'Azur. I teach at the IUT Informatique and conduct my research activities as a member of the Kairos (I3S/INRIA) group.

Before, I was Senior researcher at SINTEF Digital (Oslo, Norway), in the Secure IoT Software (SIS) group. I mainly worked in the context of EU and NRC research projects. In particular, I was the technical manager of the ENACT H2020 (780351) et Fleet (NRC) projects.

My journey started in 2008, during my PhD, where I investigated mechanisms for Context-based Dynamic Adapation in Ubiquitous Computing with Logical and Temporal Properties

I am particularly interested in the following research topics applied to the IoT, CPS, and Cloud domains:

• Model-Driven Engineering (including models@runtime)
• Domain specific modelling languages
• Dynamic adaptation of Component- and Service-based applications
• Adaptation des applications au contexte
• Adaptation à l'aide de models@runtime
• Continuous deployment et DevOps

Keywords: MDE, Adaptation, DSL, Contexte, auto-adaptation, IoT, Cloud Computing, trustworthiness, models@runtime.
