I’m a PhD candidate at ALMAnaCH (Inria Paris), co-supervised by Chloé Clavel and Maria Boritchev. My research focuses on automatic analysis of human capacity in collaboration.
I obtained my engineering degree from INSA ROUEN in 2016, majoring in Information System Architecture (ASI) with a specialty in Machine Learning. I also obtained a master's degree in Multimedia Information Processing System (STIM) from the University of Rouen in 2016. Before applying to my PhD program in Dec, 2024, I worked on NLP applications at various companies, accessing real-world data from libraries, banking, insurance, and SMEs. My experience spans document classification, information retrieval, and client analysis, with an emphasis on building scalable machine-learning solutions.
My current interests lie at the intersection of language, cognition, and multimodal modeling. I’m particularly driven by questions about how to better model the nuances of human interactions and collaborative behaviors through how people converse, and how to evaluate collaboration quality from the perspectives of emotions, cognitive processes, and interpersonal dynamics extractable from human conversational data.
