About me

I'm an associate professor at the University of  Montpellier  (IUT Montpellier-Sète), since september 2013, and a member of the COCONUT team (LIRMM). My research interests are situated at the crossroads of Constraint Programming (CP), Data Mining (DM), Machine Learning (ML) and Software Testing. In particular, I’m interested in developing techniques and tools for:

  • Constraint Acquisition.

  • Declarative Data Mining.

  • Constraint-Based Software Testing. 

  • Software Verification and Validation via Artificial Intelligence.

Once Upon A Time me

Postdoc positions:

at LIRMM ( oct. 2012/2013) at COCONUT team and involved in the FP7-FET project ICON. A Work done with Christian Bessiere on constraint acquisition.

 

at INRIA-Microsoft Research Joint Centre (oct. 2011/2012). Attached to TAO-LRI teamproject. Have worked with Youssef Hamadi, Michèle Sebag and Said Jabbour on learning efficient solving strategies on top of existing parallel SAT solver.

 

Phd thesis:

I passed my Phd at INRIA Rennes (IRISA), in the Celtique team (follow-up of Lande team), under the supervision of Arnaud Gotlieb, Yahia Lebbah and Thomas Jensen. My research area during my thesis was about the debugging in constraint programming, especially on the detection, localization and correction of faults in constraint models.
