About me

I am an Associate Professor in Computer Science at Université Paris Dauphine-PSL. I am a member of the Data Science group at LAMSADE research center. I am currently acting as a deputy director of LAMSADE CNRS UMR 7243 research center.

Soon, you will be able to find my HDR manuscript here

Research

My research interests include Service-oriented Computing, Software and Process Mining.

Until 2020, my research work delt with efficiency, reliability, and trustworthiness in service-oriented systems. More specifically, I was interested in the optimisation of non-functional properties in service compositions and their enhancement with social aspects. In this context, I have developed approaches based on models derived from combinatorial optimization and graph theory, focusing mainly on discovering, selecting, composing, and executing services while ensuring quality optimization, failure recovery, and trustworthiness.

Since 2021, my research work has evolved towards contract management for the deployment and execution of microservices in the Cloud. Furthermore, with the rise of artificial intelligence, I have oriented my research towards process and software mining.
