I am a research scientist at the Software Verification and Validation Lab, at the University of Luxembourg.

I received my M.Sc. and Ph.D. from the University of Toronto, Canada in 2003 and 2008, respectively. From 2009 to 2012, I was a research staff member at the Simula Research Lab, Norway. 

My main research area is software engineering, with specific interests in model-based development, behaviour analysis, requirements engineering, specification and design methods, and web-services. 

More details about my research and background can be found on my personal home page
