Summary

Born in 1987, Martin firstly encountered a command line around 1995 and wrote his first lines of code (Visual Basic !) in 2000. He graduated from Grenoble INP's Ensimag in 2008 (Master degree in computer engineering). After three years spent in an entrepreneurship adventure, he worked as a Web application developer and then considered starting a PhD. He joined the LIG in 2012, starting its pattern mining research with Marie-Christine Rousset and Alexandre Termier.

By the way: Kirchgessner is (simply) pronounced as if it was written "Kirgessner".
