Nicolas F. Rouquette is a Principal Computer Scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory where his pioneering work on comprehensive code generation for JPL's Deep Space One mission paved the way for applying such techniques since then. He made key contributions to several revisions of modeling standards developed by the Object Management Group (OMG) for UML and SysML, including for UML 2.4.1 which became the first revision of UML for which formal verification of consistency was performed by mapping to OWL2 and for SysML 1.4 which became the first revision of SysML for which comprehensive support for the 3rd revision of the Vocabulary of International Metrology (VIM) is available in SysML's ISO 80000 library. He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Southern California where he enjoyed guidance on applied graph algorithms from Pavel Pevzner, then a PostDoc at USC's Math department. He also holds an engineering diploma from the French ESIEE engineering school in Paris.
