Bio
I am a CNRS researcher (tenured, with HDR) at the Institute of Intelligent Systems and Robotics (ISIR), Sorbonne Université in Paris. I am a member of the HCI Sorbonne group.
I conduct interdisciplinary research in Human-Centred AI. My recent work has focused on studying the strategies people use to train and test AI-based systems, explainable AI (XAI) methods empirically tested and aligned with human perception, and sociotechnical analysis of the impact of AI in the arts.
Alongside my research activities, I have served as a scientific expert for the European Parliament’s Committee on Culture and Education on AI in the creative and cultural sectors. I am a contributing member of the Fronte Vaccuo artist collective and a laureate of Microsoft Research’s AI and Society program. I hold a PhD in computer music from IRCAM (Centre Pompidou) and an HDR (Habilitation to Direct Research) from Université Paris-Saclay.
