Dr. Marwan Abi-Antoun (CS 2010)

Bio

Dr. Marwan Abi-Antoun is currently a Senior Software Engineering at The Mathworks, where he is a part of MATLAB Coder development, the code generation capability for the MATLAB language, used by both MATLAB and Simulink products.

His thesis, "Static Extraction and Conformance Analysis of Hierarchical Runtime Architectural Structure", contributed the first approach to statically extract a sound, hierarchical, runtime architecture from Java code, requiring only annotations, rather than a radical programming language.
