About my Ph.D.

I graduated in December 2019. But please don't call me Doctor, Raph' is fine ;-). I worked on Interactive runtime verification, at Université Grenoble Alpes (Laboratoire Informatique de Grenoble, INRIA, team CORSE), advised by Yliès Falcone and Jean-François Méhaut.

Interactive runtime verification consists in combining interactive debugging, which allows developers to inspect the internal state of their programs in details, but which is also a bit tedious, with runtime verification, a formal method to check execution traces produced using instrumentation against properties. The idea it to guide interactive debugging with runtime verification to make it less tedious and more systematic. You can read the following paper for an introduction:
