Short Bio

I have been a professor at EPITA and member of LRDE since January 2022. Before joining EPITA, I was an associate professor at University Claude Bernard Lyon 1 for twelve years, leading Data Mining & Machine Learning research group in LIRIS lab (UMR CNRS 5205) during 2 years. I received received the PhD degree in computer science in 2008 from the University of Montpellier, which I did under the supervision of Maguelonne Teisseire and Anne Laurent in LIRMM Lab. My research is mainly concerned with foundation of data mining, graph mining, subgroup discovery and explainable artificial intelligence. I am on the editorial board of Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery Journal.
