  • Formal methods and proof assistants like Coq.
  • Formal verification of programs and numerical programs.

Responsabilities

  • editorial committee of the popular science web site Interstices (in French only).
  • elected member of the Inria Evaluation Committee.

Who am I?

I am an INRIA researcher (Chargée de recherche) in Orsay, France, in the Proval project.

I work at the INRIA Saclay - Île-de-France research unit and in the Laboratoire de Recherche en Informatique (Université Paris-Sud).

Je suis très impliquée en médiation scientifique: voilà une liste de mes documents et exposés de vulgarisation scientifique. / I am into science popularization. Here is a list of my documents and talks in French.
