Biography

I am a guest researcher in the MAST group, led by Prof. Dr. Walid Maalej, at University of Hamburg. We are researching the cognitive factors that impact the interaction between developers and documentation, in the context of the recent changes caused by generative AI.

I will soon start as a lecturer (assistant professor) in the Computer Science and Software Engineering department at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand.

I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science at McGill University under the supervision of Prof. Martin P. Robillard in the Software Technology Lab. My thesis focused on the presentation of software documentation, particularly API usage tutorials. I developed Casdoc, a format for code-oriented documentation. Casdoc documents for Java are available online. I received a M.Sc. in Computer Science from McGill in 2018, and a B.Sc. in Mathematics from Université de Montréal in 2016.
