I grew up in France, where I did my undergraduate in Computer Science, and graduated from
Université de la Méditerranée
(Aix-Marseille II)
with a Technology Degree (DUT) in 1994, then with a Masters by Research (DEA) in 1997.
My Masters thesis
was in Computational Music, supervised by
Vincent Risch.
From 1997 until 2001 I worked in France as a Software Engineer in the IT industry at SOPRA. Casually, I also used to teach Mathematics and Computing in high school at Institut Leschi in Marseille. I moved to Australia in 2001, first to work as an IT Consultant for IPP Technologies Pty Ltd, then I spent 2 years working as a Research Programmer at the Centre for Language Technology (CLT) at Macquarie University in Sydney. In 2003 I was awarded a Research Scholarship from Macquarie Uni., which I enrolled as a Ph.D. candidate in Computing, to study in the field of Computational Linguistics. I graduated in 2008, from both Macquarie Uni. and Université de Provence under a joint supervision agreement (cotutelle). My Ph.D. work was supervised by Diego Mollá and Mark Dras at Macquarie, and Philippe Blache at Provence. I left Australia in 2007, and after a short stay in France working as a Research Assistant at the Laboratoire Parole et Langage (LPL) I then moved to Manchester (UK) in 2008, to work as a Natural Language Processing Specialist at numéro (Smart Analytics Ltd.). I came back (again) to France in 2009, to join the Laboratoire d'Informatique Fondamentale (LIFO) at Université d'Orléans as a post-doctoral researcher, where I worked on the CRoTAL project led by Isabelle Tellier. Since November 2010 I have now been a Lecturer in Computing at Université Montpellier 2 (UM2), still in France. I am teaching Computing at the local Technology Institute (IUT), and doing my research within the NLP team-project at the LIRMM (joint UM2-CNRS Computing research lab.). |
