I'm currently a PhD student at INRIA Rocquencourt in the Gallium team under the direction of François Pottier. I started in November 2008, and I will graduate before the end of 2011. After that, I will be working for Google in New-York City as a Software Engineer.

When I started my PhD, my first interest was to design a type system able to express the amortized complexity of imperative programs (see below, in the Publications section, my paper with François Pottier, The Essence of Monotonic State).
My subject shifted toward certified compilation. After some times playing around with the Compcert certified C compiler, its memory model and some optimizations, I am now working on the formal validation of polyhedral optimizations.
In general, I am interested in language design and implementation, proofs, formal methods, validators (like this one, a proved implementation of the inner sand box of google Native Client), etc
