Jean-Marie Jacquet is a Full Professor in the Faculty of Computer Science at the University of Namur, where he has maintained an active research and teaching career since completing his Doctor of Science degree in 1989. His academic home spans multiple research institutes including the Namur Digital Institute (NADI), Namur Research Institute for Life Sciences (Narilis), and the Research Group on the Foundations of Computer Science (FOCUS). His research interests center on computer science fundamentals with particular expertise in coordination languages, programming language theory, and formal methods. His fingerprint analysis reveals strong engagement with data structures, language expressiveness, implementation techniques, and modeling approaches. He has developed significant expertise in the Bach coordination language and its applications. His recent publication trajectory shows consistent output in programming language design and analysis, with a clear focus on the Bach language ecosystem. His work bridges theoretical computer science with practical implementation concerns, particularly in the areas of expressiveness, efficiency, and security. Recent publications demonstrate his ongoing contributions to language design and tool development. Professor Jacquet actively participates in major research initiatives including the CyberExcellence project (2023-2028), CYBEREXCELLENCE cybersecurity initiative (2022-2027), and the ROBIN biological pipeline reconstruction project (2021-2022). His collaborative approach is evident in his participation in numerous workshops and conferences related to cybersecurity and programming languages. He leads and contributes to multiple research teams focusing on digital technologies, life sciences computing, and foundational computer science. His laboratory work centers on language design and implementation, particularly through the development of the Bach coordination language ecosystem and related tools like Anemone and B2Scala.
