Présentation

(last updated: July 2025)

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the médialab at Sciences Po, where my research aims to understand the impact of AI on democratic processes such as voting or deliberation. I am a member of the “Democratic Commons” research project, an interdisciplinary project which aims at measuring the impact of AI on democracy. The project involves researchers from political theory, ethics, sociology, and computer science to answer the following question: Do AI systems exhibit democratic biases (e.g political orientation) that could influence the users they interact with? The project is funded by the BPI and conducted by a research consortium including the médialab, CEVIPOF, ISIR, and Make.org.

Before joining SciencesPo, I was trained as an engineer at the National Institute of Applied Sciences (INSA de Lyon), and I hold a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Montpellier, completed as part of the “AI4Sci” european project in collaboration with the Leibniz Institute for Social Sciences (GESIS) in Germany. My doctoral research focused on the study of scientific discourse on social media and led to novel methods which aim at improving the quality of scientific debates online and facilitating fact-checking.

More broadly, my research interests include AI for democracy, computational social sciences, and the analysis and modeling of online discourse. I am member of the organizing committee for the international CheckThat! workshop, and a recipient of the “NSF/SIGWEB Student Award” for my work presented at the international CIKM2022 conference.
