I have been a lecturer and researcher at Cheikh Anta Diop University (UCAD, Dakar, Senegal, www.ucad.sn) since march 2006, and a CAMES Full Professor since July 2023. I do my teaching activities at Ecole Supérieure Polytechnique (ESP, www.esp.sn), in the Computer science Department. I also keep doing my research at UMI UMMISCO/UCAD (http://ummisco.ucad.sn/). I defended a PhD thesis in Computer science, Université Pierre & Marie Curie (UPMC - Sorbonne Universités, Paris, France), on February 8th, 2012 at the META group of the MoVe (Modelling and verification) team of the LIP6 Computer Science lab (www.lip6.fr), under the supervision of Professor Marie-Pierre Gervais and Professor Moussa LO. Additionally, by way of some held responsibilities, I try to actively contribute to the administrative operation of both ESP and UCAD institutions.
My research activities mainly focus on Model Driven Engineering (MDE) with a special interest on how to get a better productivity from models. This includes meta-modeling, model transformations, model execution, DSL specification and code generation.
I am particularly interested in
using MDE for software integration,
using software process engineering techniques to model, execute and monitor data mining processes.
I am also interested in data anonymization processes and the development of resources management aware software design approaches.
