Doctor in History and Archaeology of ancient worlds, my fields of specialization are databases and digital resources in archaeology.

Co-header of the Digital Humanities Pole of AOROC.

Field of research

I joined the CNRS in 2012 and worked as a database engineer for 6 years in the labex TransferS (Investissements d'avenir program ANR-10-IDEX-0001-02 PSL* and ANR-10-LABX-0099). Since 2019, I have joined the laboratory AOROC, Archéologie & Philologie d'Orient et d'Occident, which studies material and written traces from the Iron Age to Late Antiquity. In this framework, my role is to implement digital corpora. This implies representing conceptual data models, designing and developing scientific databases, building tools for data entry, consultation and analysis, and finally organizing the dissemination of data on the web, in accordance with the principles of FAIR data. As such, I am part of the process of associating humanities and digital technologies, with the aim of optimizing the potential of exploitation, analysis and publication of scientific data.

Co-responsible for the Digital Humanities pole of my laboratory since 2021, I also coordinate the Digit_Hum initiative, along with Marie-Laure Massot (CAPHÉS), aiming to promote digital humanities at the scale of the ENS and the University of Paris Sciences & Lettres.
