Biography

I am full professor in Computer Science at the MMI department of the Béziers's Institute of Technology since September 2013. From September 2005 to August 2013, I was associate professor (« maître de conférences ») at the Paris Saclay University. I am the director of the Béziers's Institute of Technology since September 2022. I teach web technology. I am member of the ADVANSE (ADVanced Analytics for data SciencE) group of the LIRMM (Laboratory of Computer Science, Robotics and Microelectronics of Montpellier) since 2013. My research topics are mainly focused on data science applied to health.

Keywords : Data Science, Knowledge Extraction, Data Mining, Knowledge Engineering, Machine Learning, Sequential Patterns, Medical Informatics

Teachings Activities

I teach : Web Technologies front and back (HTML, CSS, Javascript, NodeJS, PHP, SQL) for student at the Béziers's Institute of Technology

All the course materials are available on the learning plateform Moodle.

From 2015 to 2021, I was head of the MMI department.

Research Activities

My research topics are mainly focused on data science applied to heath. Since 2013, I have been mainly interested in two lines of research:

  • Pattern extraction in health data. We have extended the semantics of sequential patterns to represent patient trajectories and use them to predict events.
  • Enrichment of social media content. We have implemented different methods to analyse patient output from forums, social networks, etc. These methods include the development of machine learning and text mining techniques.

These works are all 1) theoretical and have led to the definition of new processing chains and 2) experimental since they have all been applied on real datasets and confronted with the views of health experts.

Publications : I publish in Data Science and in medical informatic. Most publications are indexed by DBLP et PUBMED.
