Who am I ?

I am currently a Maître de conférences (Associate Professor, on a temporary contract) at IMT Mines Alès (France). I joined the school in January 2025 as a postdoctoral researcher, working on explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) and its impact on human-centered AI-assisted decision tasks.

Previously, I completed my PhD at the University of Angers, investigating the combination of metaheuristics and machine learning for the discovery of molecules in molecular chemistry. I also worked at GIRO (Montréal, Canada) for 18 months as a developer for metaheuristic optimization algorithms in the domain of public transportation.

Besides computer science and AI, I have many center of interests including photography, music, or tennis. I even got into chess recently, but I will not disclose my elo here out of modesty (or shame).
