As an engineer and doctor in industrial engineering, my professional and research experience mainly concerns digital tools for the various stages of the innovation and creativity process. I address the issues of preparing the ideation phase, capitalising on knowledge from ideation to prototyping, and the visualisation and prototyping of concepts.

To do this, I’m interested in artificial intelligence technologies (ontology, machine learning, neural networks, optimisation, etc.). I did my thesis in collaboration with Polytechnique Montréal on knowledge management during the collaborative creativity process. I was a teacher-researcher at Arts et Métiers ParisTech and also head of NLP – ontologies in a private company.

My areas of expertise are :

  • The design and production of embedded electronic systems, ESP32-type microcontrollers with Sigfox or LoRa connectivity, and firmware in C or Python.
  • Development of computer programmes for data processing based on symbolic AI (ontology, inference engine, etc.), system simulation (energy and multi-agent systems), immersive visualisation/simulation (extended reality) in a design support context.
  • Deployment of web services, maintenance of servers and virtual machines and implementation of CI/CD tools for the laboratory’s internal tools.
  • Evaluation of the above developments using user experience evaluation tools.
