About

I am an assistant professor at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), in the Software Languages Lab (SOFT), where I lead SPELLS², the research group on Software Performance Evaluation of Low-Level, Safe, Secure and Scalable Systems. My research converges around structured reasoning about system performance, reproducible evaluation infrastructure, and safe systems migration, applied to operating systems, compilers, and real-time, robotics and embedded software: building tools and methods that help understand and reason about system behavior, not just measure it.

Before joining VUB in November 2023, I worked as an Operating System Software Architect at Huawei (2019–2023) and as an OS engineer at HIPPEROS (2012–2019), a spin-off of ULB. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) in 2018.
