Biography
Mathieu Nassif is a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at McGill University. His research focuses on the extraction, representation, and manipulation of knowledge in software systems to optimize the contribution of developers.
Mathieu received a M.Sc. in Computer Science from McGill University in 2018. His thesis explored a flexible approach to embed documentation directly in source code to reduce the redundancy of information in software systems while improving documentation quality. Mathieu received a B.Sc. in Mathematics from Université de Montréal in 2016.
