Mouna Dhaouadi, M.Sc.

Bio

I started my PhD in January 2021 at the University of Montreal. I work with Dr. Michalis Famelis from GEODES lab and Dr. Jian-Yun Nie from RALI lab. My research concerns rationale extraction and management.

Between September 2019 and December 2020, I was a master's student at the GEODES lab at the University of Montreal, and I worked with Dr. Michalis Famelis. My research was about uncertainty-aware modelling. For my thesis, I proposed an uncertainty modelling language and an approach for articulating design-time uncertainty. During my master's, I also collaborated on work that tackled the treatment of uncertainty in Requirements Engineering.

My undergraduate education was in Software Engineering at the National Institute of Applied Sciences and Technology (INSAT), in Tunisia. I did my graduation internship in 2019 under the supervision of Dr. Marouane Kessentini at the Intelligent Software Engineering lab at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. During this internship, my research was about security-aware refactoring. I studied the possible correlations between the quality and the security of software programs when refactoring them, by augmenting an existing multi-objective optimization refactoring tool to take security into consideration. This work involved the automatic identification of a project’s security-critical files, and the estimation of their risks.
