Associate Professor in Computer Science
Toulouse Capitole University
Toulouse Capitole University
I work as an Associate Professor at Toulouse Capitole University and IRIT research lab (SMAC research group), in France since September 2024. I am also a Visiting Researcher at the School of Geography, University of Leeds, UK, since 2023, and a member of the Mobility Science Lab.
I contributed to several projects using agent-based modelling and simulation for urban planning and future transportation. In the RAIM project at the University of Leeds, I built models and simulations of the mobility of the ageing population in the UK and Canada, in order to identify the needs for demand-responsive autonomous transportation. From 2018 to 2021, I did my PhD in Computer Science at Grenoble Alps University. I was part of the Grenoble Informatics Laboratory and Inria. My research was interested in modelling and simulating realistic pedestrian behaviours in shared spaces with autonomous vehicles, within the HIANIC project.
I also teach in MIAGE at UT Capitole and at Toulouse School of Economics.
