Basile Starynkevitch is a seasoned research engineer and educator with nearly four decades of experience in compilers, garbage collection, meta-programming and static analysis, grounded by a PhD in AI from Université Paris 6 and early training at École Normale Supérieure de Cachan. After a long research career at CEA-LIST and stints as an industrial expert at INRIA, he now teaches Linux programming and OCaml while continuing hands-on open-source work improving C libraries for servers and WebSocket robustness. His profile blends deep academic rigor with practical systems-level engineering—he is comfortable refactoring low-level memory and threading utilities as well as steering European R&D projects. Notably, he combines legacy expertise in compiler and expert systems with modern interests in AI, and he brings a pragmatic, detail-focused approach likely informed by decades of low-level C and formal methods work.
