I am directeur de recherche (senior researcher) at CNRS, working at the Laboratoire d’Informatique de Paris Nord (Université Sorbonne Paris Nord), of which I am the current director. I have had a permanent position at LIPN since 2008. Previously, I was post-doc in the lab which is now called IRIF and, before that, I did my PhD in Marseille, with Laurent Regnier, in the lab which is now called IMM. Prior to that, I studied CS engineering in Rome, which is where I am originally from.
