I am an assistant professor (maître de conférences) at the computer science department of Aix Marseille University in France. In addition to teaching, I also do research in computational linguistics/natural language processing at the TALEP team of LIS (previously called LIF). From Sep 2019 to Aug 2020 I am a visiting CNRS researcher (délégation) at the MELODI team of IRIT in Toulouse.

I am passionate about multiword expressions (MWEs) and I try to build natural language processing systems that take them into account. I have created and maintain, with the help of colleagues, the mwetoolkit: a useful tool for discovering and indentifying MWEs in corpora. I have written a book on MWE processing, available as printed or e-Book on Springer Link. (errata). I am also interested in syntactic and semantic parsing, word embeddings, corpus annotation, low-resourced languages, unsupervised and semi-supervised methods, and information extraction.

I am deeply involved in the PARSEME community, especially in the organisation of the shared tasks in 2017, 2018 and 2020, on verbal MWE identification. I also gave a course on MWEs at ESSLLI 2018.

I obtained my PhD (2009-2012) from the University of Grenoble (France) under the supervision of Christian Boitet and at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil) under the supervision of Aline Villavicencio. I have a Bachelor's degree from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul and a Master's degree from ENSIMAG at Grenoble INP.
