Geoffrey Hecht

Postdoc at Departamento de Ciencias de la Computación (DCC), Universidad of Chile, Santiago.

My research interests include software engineering, software optimization, machine learning, virtual reality and the Android ecosystem. Always open to collaboration if we have research interests in common !

Since July 2018, I am a Postdoctoral fellow at University of Chile in the Intelligent Software Construction Laboratory (ISCLab) working with Alexandre Bergel on the optimization of Android Applications, in particular regarding ProGuard/R8 and Kotlin.

Before this, I was Postdoctoral fellow in Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) working on service-oriented software reengineering of legacy applications and static analysis of multilanguage software systems with Hafedh Mili.

I did my phd Thesis as Joint-thesis between UQAM (Canada) and Université Lille 1 (France), Under the supervision of Naouel Moha and Romain Rouvoy, in Latece laboratory and CRIStAL (Spirals team) on the detection and analysis of impact of code smells in mobile applications
