Julia Lawall
Julia is an INRIA Senior Research Scientist (Directrice de Recherche) in the Regal group at INRIA/LIP6. She also participates in the IRILL. Her current research focuses on the design and implementation of domain-specific languages, mostly targetting problems in operating systems. She has also worked on partial evaluation, optimal reduction of the lambda calculus and continuations.
She is one of the main developers of Coccinelle a program matching and transformation engine which provides the language SmPL (Semantic Patch Language) for specifying desired matches and transformations in C code.
