Summary
Stéphanie Challita is an Associate Professor of Software Engineering at the University of Rennes with nine years of experience bridging academia and research in Model-Driven Engineering, Software Language Engineering, REST APIs and cloud computing. She teaches at ESIR and contributes to the DiverSE research team (IRISA/Inria/CNRS), bringing a practical bent from her PhD work on inferring and formalizing cloud API models. Her postdoctoral work at Inria expanded into model-based formal security analysis for IoT systems, reflecting a consistent focus on formal, tool-supported approaches to complex distributed systems. Stéphanie combines classroom instruction with hands-on research tooling—her doctoral contributions fed into the OCCIware toolchain for cloud resource management. Based in Rennes, she has also taught systems and networks administration and guided algorithmic and object-oriented design at multiple French universities, showing versatility across teaching levels. Known for blending formal methods with real-world cloud and API concerns, she brings rigorous modeling skills to applied software engineering problems.
