معرفی
Marianne Huchard is Full Professor of Computer Science at the University of Montpellier, Faculty of Sciences since 2004, serving as Director of LIRMM (Laboratory of Informatics, Robotics and Microelectronics at Montpellier) and head of its Computer Science Department. She also participates in the human resources committee of the MIPS scientific department.
She earned her PhD in Computer Science in 1992 researching algorithmic aspects of multiple inheritance in object-oriented programming languages. Her primary research domains are Formal Concept Analysis (theoretical and applied, including Relational Concept Analysis) and Software Engineering (model-driven engineering, component-based development, and software product line migration), with recent work integrating Large Language Models for innovative solutions.
Analysis of her 2024-2025 publications reveals a strong interdisciplinary trend: Relational Concept Analysis enhanced by LLMs is being applied to software engineering challenges like user-story generation, class model restructuring, and product line migration, demonstrating significant methodological innovation.
Scientific awards: None documented in provided sources.
She actively supervises doctoral research:
- Thomas Georges (defended January 2023): 'Agile Engineering of Software Product Lines for Agricultural Decision Support'
- Austin Waffo-Kouhoué (defended November 2024): 'Web Accessibility for People with Visual Impairments'
Her research is supported by projects including RCAviz (funded by #DigitAg), FCA4J toolkit development, and Web Iris accessibility extension.
As leader of the MAREL team (Models And Reuse Engineering, Languages) at LIRMM, she drives research at the formal methods/software engineering intersection and co-created Montpellier's Master's program in Software Engineering.
