Short Biography
Johan Brichau is a postdoctoral researcher at the Département d'Ingénierie Informatique (Departement of Computer Science and Engineering) of the Université catholique de Louvain in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium. He received a PhD degree in Computer Science in 2005 from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, where he also obtained his Licentiate (Masters) degree in Computer Science in 1999.
Johan started his research career as a research assistant of the Flemish Fund for Scientific Research (FWO - Vlaanderen) under the supervision of prof. dr. Theo D'Hondt at the Programming Technology Lab of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. He finished his doctoral dissertation while working on the Advanced Media research project (in collaboration with the belgian national television) and the European network of excellence AOSD-Europe. His dissertation, entitled 'Integrative Composition of Program Generators', focuses on the use of logic metaprogramming for generative programming and more specifically on the composition of program generators. He subsequently spent nine months as a postdoctoral researcher at the Laboratoire d'Informatique Fondamentale de Lille in France before starting his current position.
Throughout his research, Johan has maintained a strong interest in (logic) metaprogramming and reflective techniques in the context of advanced software engineering tools as well as programming languages. More specifically, he has applied logic metaprogramming to pointcut languages in AOSD, the implementation of program generators and the verification of software applications.
How to find me
My office (nr. a1.43) is located on the 1nd floor of the 'Réamur' building, wing A.1, on the Place Sainte Barbe in Louvain-la-Neuve. When you enter the building, go to the first floor and enter the hallway on your right (through the orange doors beneath the sign 'a.1'). My office is the on your left (nr. a1.43). Use the links below to get some nice maps and information on how to find that place.
