About me

I am a third-year PhD student at Univ. Grenoble Alpes, in the CONVECS team of INRIA and LIG.

In 2019, I received an Engineering degree and a Research Master's degree in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics from École Nationale Supérieure d'Informatique et de Mathématiques Appliquées de Grenoble (ENSIMAG), a French "Grande École".

I have been an assistant engineer trainee at SAP Walldorf (Germany), within the Big Data - HANA Vora department, then a research intern within the CONVECS team.

Currently, I am working on formal methods under the supervision of Hubert Garavel and Radu Mateescu.

Data sets

The VLSAT benchmark suites, which are collections of logic formulas, to be used in scientific experiments and software competitions. These formulas have been obtained from the automatic conversion into Nested-Unit Petri Nets (NUPNs) of a large collection of Petri nets modelling real-life problems, such as communication protocols and concurrent systems.

• VLSAT-1: 100 SAT formulas having large numbers of models, dedicated to model counting
• VLSAT-2: 50 satisfiable and 50 unsatisfiable SAT formulas, dedicated to SAT solving
• VLSAT-3: 600 satisfiable and 600 unsatisfiable SMT formulas, dedicated to SMT solving
