Current Teaching

I also teach the class "Serious Games" for the Master in Psychology CAER

Research

I like to investigate the application of  tools, models and paradigms from computer science (and logic, from a Curry-Howard perspective) to new media.

Lately, I have been  investigating the use of Linear Logic as a conceptual model for Computational Narratives, aka a Proof is a Story.

I am interested in using narratives to represent human understanding. I am also interested in using them for conveying meaning in an engaging manner as part of interactive applications.

Previous work

I used to like to think about how best to build online persistent multi-user games. This was the topic of my PhD thesis which I defended as a member of the PPS lab, Paris 7 - Denis Diderot University (supervised by Emmanuel Chailloux).

This work has been awarded the 1st prize Young Researcher in Games at the Imagina 2005 conference.

Previous Occupations

In or out of Academia:

Education

I have studied Mathematics as an undergrad, then went on to study Logic, both from the Philosophical and Mathematical point of views. I studied programming languages design with Emmanuel Chailloux (type systems for CAML-like languages), then trained as a Software Engineer, in embedded software for Renault SA. After some time in the computer games industry I did a PhD in Computer Science.

Personal

I have three daughters born in 2008, 2011 and 2014.
I am working on a fractional basis since 2008. It may cause delays of a couple of days in answering e-mails.
