I am currently a Ph.D. student within the FlexTech chair and study contextual approaches and Human-Systems Integration (HSI) techniques in the development of remote tower operations for both civil and military applications. I belong to the Interfaces doctoral school of Paris-Saclay University. I work for the CS Research Lab from CS GROUP (A Sopra Steria Company), the Industrial Engineering Laboratory (LGI) at CentraleSupélec and the ESTIA-Recherche laboratory.
I hold an engineering degree from ENSEIRB-MATMECA (Ecole nationale supérieure d’électronique, informatique, télécommunications, mathématique et mécanique de Bordeaux) in computer science with a specialization in High Performance Computing and Data Science.
Teaching
I teach mainly Computer Science to students from the engineering cycle at ESTIA, with some involvement in the Human Systems Integration course at ESTIA and CentraleSupélec.

Research and publications
The domains of my research include supporting early design stages throughout Systems Engineering and Systems Architecture processes. In particular, I am interested in Human Systems Integration (HSI) approaches to the design of complex sociotechnical systems. Such approaches include simulation, virtual protoypes, Scenario-Based Design (SBD), cognitive engineering and complex systems modeling. In this regard, I am a member of the FlexTech chair which is a long-term collaboration between both industrial and academic partners.
