About Me
I am a professor of computer science at LRE (EPITA Research Laboratory). My
research interests include software engineering, programming languages,
document engineering and digital typesetting. I give lectures on Object
Orientation, Functional Programming, and Typesetting (formerly, also Operating
Systems and Computer Graphics).
I am the president of the European Lisp
Symposium steering committee, and serve
or have served as a Steering / Programme Committee member or chair in many
conferences (DocEng, DLS, SAC, Onward!, ICCQ, COP, FARM, etc.).
I am also a free software advocate. I was one of the core maintainers of
XEmacs for more than 15 years, a contributor to many Emacs Lisp libraries, and
author of several LaTeX packages and Common Lisp libraries. I maintain
Quickref, the largest Lisp libraries
documentation platform.
Aside from Computer Science, I am also a semi-professional Jazz
musician (3 albums) and a certified Aikido
instructor. I give coaching sessions on
the theme “Aikido and Conflict Management” for large companies.
