Since June 2011, Stéphane Ducasse is scientific officer of INRIA Lille Nord Europe research center. Since 2007 Stephane is research director at INRIA-Lille Nord Europe where he leads the RMoD team. He is expert in two domains: object-oriented language design and reengineering. He is expert in object-oriented language design, dynamic languages, reflective programming and language semantics. Recently he worked on traits, composable groups of methods, and this work got some impact.
