I am Associate Professor at the Université Polytechnique Hauts-de-France (France), and member of the LAMIH laboratory (UMR CNRS 8201).
I got my PhD degree in October 2014 from University of Lille (France) and a Computer Science degree from UNICEN (Argentina). Moreover, I had teaching duties at the engineering school Telecom Lille.
I have worked in the private sector as software developer (Java, Web, SOA, Mobile).
Currently I develop and maintain Astor, an automated program repair framework, and Coming, a tool for mining commits from Git repositories.
News: I appear in the second place on the ranking of Most Impactful Early-stage Software Engineering Researchers during the period 2013-2020, elaborated by the E. Wong et colleagues at A bibliometric assessment of software engineering themes, scholars and institutions (2013–2020), and in the nineteenth place on the ranking of Most Active Early-stage Software Engineering Researchers in Top-Quality journals.
