Since 09/2021, I have been an associate professor at l’IUT / University of Orléans, France and a member of the research team CA (Constraints and Learning) of LIFO. I’m the Director of studies of the second year of bachelor’s degree.

My research interests cover several themes:

• Multimodal analysis.
• Weakly supervised learning
• Incremental learning.

11/2024: 1 papers on PU learning accepted at SAC 2025.

10/2024: 1 paper on Continual learning accepted at WACV 2024.
