About me

As of September 2025, I am a member of the MosAIk team hosted by Loria. My current research interests are related to Natural Language Processing (in particular Computer-Aided Language Learning and Natural Language Generation), and Computing Science Teaching. More details are available in the research page.

I teach algorithmics, object oriented programming, web interfaces and software engineering to undergraduate students at the University Institute of Technology (IUT Nancy Charlemagne). More details are available in the teaching page.

A more comprehensive description is available in my CV.

Previous affiliations

Université de Lorraine / INSPE de Lorraine (2017-2025)
From September 2017 til September 2025, I was a member of the Synalp team hosted by Loria. My research activities focused on grammar engineering and multilingual natural language generation. I taught computing science (unplugged or not) and digital tools for education to undergraduate students and lifelong trainees at the University School of Education (INSPE de Lorraine).
Université d'Orléans / IUT'O (2009-2017)
From September 2009 til September 2017, I was an Associate Professor at LIFO, the Computer Science lab of the University of Orléans, where I worked on formal grammar engineering and symbolic parsing. I taught algorithmics, object-oriented and system programming, foundational and advanced databases, and software engineering to undergraduate students at the University Institute of Technology (IUT'O). From May 2011 til September 2013, I was a member of IRES Orléans (Research Institute in Science Teaching), where I was involved in the creation of the Computing Science group. From September 2015 til June 2019, I collaborated with the Maison pour la Science en Centre-Val de Loire to train primary and secondary school teachers to computing science using unplugged activities.
Universität Tübingen / Department of Linguistics (2007-2008)
In 2007-2008, I was a post-doctoral research fellow at the University of Tübingen, in the Emmy-Noether group led by Laura Kallmeyer, hosted by the collaborative research center SFB 441, where I worked on the formal syntactic and semantic description of a fragment of German using extensions of Tree-Adjoining Grammar. I gave a class on Information Retrieval for B.A. / M.A. students in the ISCL program.
Université Henri Poincaré / Faculté des Sciences et Techniques (2003-2007)
From October 2003 til April 2007, I was a PhD student at LORIA, working in the TALARIS team and supervised by Claire Gardent. I worked on the formal description of French using Tree-Adjoining Grammar, and spent some time in Office B224. I gave classes on functional and object-oriented programming within the computer science department of the science faculty and the ESSTIN engineering school (now Polytech Nancy).
