معرفی
Benoit Baudry is a Full Professor of Computer Science at the University of Montreal's Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Department of Computer Science and Operations Research. He leads the GEODES research group (Groupe de recherche sur les systèmes ouverts et distribués et l’expérimentation dans les logiciels), focusing on software engineering challenges. His teaching responsibilities include courses like Software Quality Metrics (IFT-3913), Software Project Management (IFT-3150), and Advanced Topics in Software Engineering (IFT-6251). He is actively involved in strategic initiatives like IVADO and MITACS-funded projects.
Research interests span software supply chain security, dependency management, automated software engineering, and AI-driven development tools. He leads projects such as 'Safe and Transparent Software Reuse' (2025–2031) funded by NSERC and 'CLIMB: LLM-driven MLOps Interface' (2025) supported by MITACS. His work addresses critical issues like detecting bloated dependencies, ensuring reproducible builds, and mitigating supply chain vulnerabilities.
Recent funding includes NSERC Discovery Grants and Apogée Canada operational funds. He has pioneered techniques for generating mocks from production data, automating test generation via runtime analysis, and applying large language models to software repair. His interdisciplinary projects bridge software engineering with digital art, such as algorithmic art generation systems.
He advises multiple graduate programs including Computer Science Bachelors, Masters, and PhD tracks. Key collaborations include KTH Royal Institute of Technology and industry partnerships like Co-operators. His research emphasizes practical solutions for real-world software systems' reliability and security.
