My research work focuses on modeling and simulating human behaviour and language use (see publications).

From January 2017 to November 2017, I was a postdoctoral researcher on the H2020 ARIA VALUSPA project under the supervision of Chloé Clavel, Frédéric Landragin and Catherine Pelachaud.

From October 2014 to December 2016, I was a postdoctoral researcher at LIMSI-CNRS on the Joker project under the supervision of Laurence Devillers and Sophie Rosset.

From September 2013 to August 2014, I was “Teaching and Research Temporary Attaché” (ATER) at Lille 1 University in the SMAC Team (LIFL).

I obtained a PhD from INSA of Rouen in May 2014, under the supervision of Pr. Jean-Pierre Pécuchet, Nathalie Chaignaud, Jean-Philippe Kotowicz and Alexandre Pauchet.
