I’m a researcher at Inria Paris working on data-driven and knowledge-guided processes for knowledge discovery and predictive modelling in biomedicine. My interest goes from information extraction from clinical text to neuro-symbolic approaches for patient representation and reasoning. My training includes a PhD from the Loria (Université de Lorraine, Inria, CNRS), Nancy and a postdoc from Stanford University. Before joining Inria, I was Associate Prof. at the University of Lorraine.
I am regularly hiring PhD and Master students, engineers, postdocs and hosting invited researchers. If you are interested in joining HeKA, please get in touch.
