My research topics concern machine learning applications to health data, including:
- Natural Language Processing (personal health records, social networks, etc.)
- Image classification and object detection (i.e. microscopy)
- Other kind of data (spectrometry, biological data...)
I teach Computer Science and am manager of the master's program Applied Mathematics and Computer Science (MAIN) at Polytech Sorbonne.
