⋄ After a PhD on formal languages theory, my researchs have focused on the study of models, mainly based on transition systems, for parallel and timed processes. As the years go, specification and verification of such systems become one of the main motivations of my studies.

⋄ My research activities have been the subject of about fifty international publications among which 5 books, 17 journal articles and 26 conferences with proceedings and program committees. I advised 8 PhD students.
