interests:

Broadly, I am interested in formal methods, programming language and security (generally, programming language security and secure compilation).

I am one of the main promotors of the secure compilation research field, having developed with my collaborators:

1. -secure compilation criteria (modular full abstraction, trace-preserving compilation, robustly safe compilation, robust hyperproperty preservation criteria)
   

2. -proof techniques for secure compilation (trace-based backtranslation, approximate context-based backtranslation)
   

3. -instances of secure compilers in action (secure compilation for PMA and high-level capability machines)
   

4. -teaching material for secure compilation (see my teaching page)
   

More precisely, here is my (old) research statement.

Professional activity:

1. •Organiser/co organiser: PRISC’19, PRISC’18, 1st Secure Compilation Meeting.
   

2. •PC: CSF’20, SAC’19, SAC’18, SAC’17, FCS’16, SAC’16, SAC’15, ICCSW’14
   

3. •External/sub reviewer: POPL’16, CSF’15, Elsevier’s COMLAN, FOCLASA’14, GPCE’14, Scientific World Journal, IFM’13, FSEN’13, ESOP’12, IWACO’11, Dagstuhl seminar on secure compilation
