**Joel Falcou, Ph. D** (insert crumbs.html here) # Short Intro I am Joel Falcou, Destroyer of World, Terror of the Compilers. ![ ](media/me.jpg width="256" ) In my spare time, I am an associated professor at the University Paris-Saclay and researcher at the [Laboratoire de Recherche d’Informatique](https://www.lri.fr/) in Orsay, France. My research focuses on studying generative programming idioms and techniques to design tools for parallel software development. I also have a rather personal take on humor as you may have noticed already. The main parts of my work are: - the exploration of Embedded Domain Specific Language design for parallel computing on various architectures; - the definition of a formal framework for reasoning about meta-programs. As I need something to pad my academic paper up to at least eight pages, I usually play around with various application fields like real-time image processing on embedded architectures or HPC on multi-core clusters. I am the co-host of the [**C++FRUG Meetup**](https://www.meetup.com/fr-FR/User-Group-Cpp-Francophone/), president of the C++FRUG Association and I co-organize the [**CPPP Conference**](https://cppp.fr/). I am also part entrepreneur. I founded NUMSCALE in 2012 and I am also the founder and training advisor of [**CODE RECKONS**](https://www.codereckons.com). When not trying to not cross the `std::iostream`, you can find me at a Magic: The Gathering EDH game or watching B series horror flicks. # News **2020.10** I have a proper website **again** after 12 years of procrastination on this front. This is the big news for now 😅 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
