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.

10/2023: 1 paper on non-English LLM accepted at EMNLP 2023. A collaboration work with researchers at the WASP Media & Language Arena and the DopikAI lab.

7/2023: 1 paper accepted at CBMI 2023.

Research Grants:

• 2023-2026: grant CIFRE with IMPACT. (Co-PI)
• 2023-2026: APR Optimedias (Artificial intelligence for the benefit of precision medicine in neuropsychiatry and infectiology) funded by the Region Centre-Val-de-Loire, France.
• 2022-2025 : ANR ASTRID ROV-Chasseur on weakly supervised learning and efficient deep models for robotic vision. (Co-PI)
• 2022-2023 : ACHS: a scientific collaboration projet of the French Embassy in Vietnam on medical data analysis (PI)
• 2015-2016 : eDuc: a technology transfer project funded by the SATT Grand Center on lecture videos indexing (PI)

Research activities

• Sep 2023: Organizing a special session at CBMI2023: Cross-modal multimedia analysis and retrieval for well-being insights. Session Chair.
• Oct 2023: Organizing a special session at KSE2023: Multimodal Data and Multidisciplinary Applications
• PC member of SoICT2023, MAPR2022, MANPU2022, ICMR 2022, MMM2019

PhD students / Postdocs

• Rim Rahali, postdoc of the project ROV-Chasseur, 2022-2025.
• Jean-Daniel De-Ambrogi, “Efficient Deep Models for Indoor Reconstruction and Navigation on Mobile Devices”, co-supervisor with Aladine Chatouni
• Trung-Anh Dang, “Continual learning”, co-supervisor with Christel Vrain
• Yen Vu, “Semi- and self-supervised learning with clustering using knowledge. Application to mineral potential mapping”, co-supervisor with Christel Vrain and Bich Dao

Professional and Community roles:

I am experienced in building real IT systems, especially in building AI products. I have experience as an entrepreneur (co-founder of the startup BrickIn’Up, France) and as an AI advisor for companies worldwide, including an insurtech AI Startup in Germany, two AI solutions companies in Vietnam.
