In 2020 I was 53 years old. Currently Associate Professor in Computer Science at Normandie Univ (UNICAEN, ENSICAEN, CNRS), member of GREYC (UMR 6072), Caen, France. Habilitation (HDR) obtained in 2017. Initial career as a sound engineer (1990–2000) for television, cinema and music.

My research sits at the intersection of formal modelling, combinatorial optimisation and algorithm design. Main themes include discrete structures for knowledge extraction (Boolean matrix factorisation, formal concept analysis, hypergraphs), machine learning for complex dynamic systems through geometric and graph-based models, and predictive modelling of heterogeneous temporal data in decision-making contexts, such as sport and competitive games, e-sport.

Intellectual breadth combined with methodological discipline characterises the trajectory — sustained curiosity with a healthy skepticism toward narrow disciplinary silos.
