I am a Research Scientist at the Software Verification and Validation LabUniversity of Luxembourg.

I received the PhD degree in Computer Science from the University of Toronto in 2008.

From 2009 to 2012, I was a member of the research staff at Simula Research Laboratory, Norway. In 2009, I was a visiting researcher at University College London.

My research interests are focused on model-based software engineering with a particular emphasis on model-based verification and validation of business- and mission-critical applications.
