Professors

Houari SAHRAOUI Full Professor

sahraoui@iro.umontreal.ca • 2359, Pav. André-Aisenstadt

My main research interests are concerned with automatization in software engineering (SE) and the application of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to software engineering.

AI & Optimization

Benoit BAUDRY Full Professor

baudry@iro.umontreal.ca • 2357, Pav. André-Aisenstadt

My research focuses on automated software engineering, software diversity, and software testing. I favor exploring code execution over code on disk.

Software Testing & Software Diversity

Eugene SYRIANI Full Professor

syriani@iro.umontreal.ca • 2345, Pav. André-Aisenstadt

My main research goal is to provide tools and techniques for software engineers and experts in other science and engineering disciplines that improve their productivity and help them output artifacts of high quality.

Modeling & Simulation

Michalis FAMELIS Associate Professor

famelis@iro.umontreal.ca • 2343, Pav. André-Aisenstadt

I work to create formal but practical techniques and methods for engineering software. To do this, I draw from disciplines such as formal verification, model-based engineering, and empirical methods.
