Présentation

My research lies at the interface between computer science, cognitive science, and the humanities, with a focus on education. I recently completed my PhD with the Mnemosyne team (Inria, LaBRI, IMN, Bordeaux Neurocampus) in partnership with the LINE (Laboratory of Digital Innovation in Education, Université Côte d'Azur, Nice), where I worked on computational models of creative problem solving. My aim was twofold: first, to bridge the gap between educational psychology, learning sciences, and computational neuroscience; and second, to better understand how transversal skills— necessary for adapting in a rapidly changing world —are acquired and developed.

Building on this foundation, I am expanding my research to explore how computational models can help create more adaptive, inclusive, and interdisciplinary learning environments, drawing inspiration from embodied cognition and learning principles observed in both natural and artificial systems. I have also recently developed a strong interest in the use of language and creative writing as metacognitive tools for knowledge construction. In this context, I advocate for the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) approach, integrating artistic and creative practices into scientific education to encourage deeper engagement and innovation. My personal experience with dance has also shaped my understanding of cognition, movement, and learning, reinforcing my interdisciplinary perspective. I believe that such creative approaches in education and outreach, combined with citizen science and open science initiatives, could help bridging several gaps: the gender gap in STEM, by encouraging more women to engage with the so-called 'hard' sciences, and the gap between science and society by fostering trust, ethical awareness, and a stronger connection between research and real-world ecological and societal challenges.
