Welcome!

I am Associate Professor of Human-Computer Interaction and Innovation at LINEACT CESI.
My research interests include social behaviour modelling, human-human and human-computer interaction, embodied conversational agents.


Where to find me


Previously, as postdoctoral researcher, I worked on the AI4SoftSkills project: Artificial Intelligence for Training Soft Skills, under the supervision of Mathieu Chollet (at the time: PACCE team of LS2N Laboratory, IMT Atlantique; today: Glasgow Interactive Systems group, University of Glasgow) and Chloé Clavel (at the time: S2A team of LTCI Laboratory, Télécom Paris; today: ALMAnaCH team, Inria Paris).

Before, I also worked under the supervision of Giovanna Varni (at the time: S2A team of LTCI Laboratory, Télécom Paris; today: DISI, University of Trento), on modelling social cognition in small groups, by focusing on non-verbal behaviour.

I received my PhD from Sorbonne University in 2019, at ISIR (Institute for Intelligent Systems and Robotics), under the supervision of Catherine Pelachaud. I developed a computational model for managing first impressions of an Embodied Conversational Agent in real-time interactions. More details about the ANR IMPRESSIONS project can be found here.
