I am Associate Professor (HDR) of Computer Science at Nantes University, where I co-lead the TALN research group (together with Richard Dufour) at the Laboratory of Digital Sciences of Nantes (LS2N). My research lies within the fields of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Information Retrieval (IR), with a focus on applications involving scholarly documents. I am especially interested in generative AI and work on developing models to assist researchers in searching, reading, understanding and writing scientific papers. Currently, I held a research leave at the Japanese-French Laboratory for Informatics (JFLI) in Tokyo.

trajectory: grad student at LIA, Université d’Avignon (France) → post-doc at RALI, Université de Montréal (Canada) → associate professor at LS2N, Université de Nantes (France) → visiting researcher at Aizawa lab, National Institute of Informatics (Japan) → researcher at JFLI, National Institute of Informatics (Japan).
