About me
I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Complex Networks team at LIP6 - Sorbonne University under the supervision of Matthieu Latapy . Previously, I have been a research engineer at ADERA conducting R&D activities in an industry-academia project. I also served as a teaching and research assistant (ATER) respectively at Nantes University and La Rochelle University. I obtained my PHD from La Rochelle University in July 2021 with Jean-Loup Guillaume as supervisor.
My research covers various themes but focuses on analyzing digital traces using complex network approaches. Currently, I am working on fraud detection in financial transactions. During my PHD I worked on the analysis of network-constrained trajectories. These are ordered sequences of locations (GPS coordinates, web pages, etc.) which describe movements taking place along a mobility or communication network (road network, internet). Apart from analyzing digital traces, I am also interested in multi-agent systems and natural language processing.
