Since september 2008, I am associate professor of computer science at the University of New Caledonia, where I am teaching algorithmic, databases and web development. I am also a member of the ISEA laboratory (Institue of Exact and Applied Sciences). This laboratory brings together biologists, geologists, physicists, chemists, mathematicians and computer scientists to address both fundamental and applied questions related to the concepts of risk and sustainable development. I am more particularly involved in the research theme "Complexity and Data Science". In 2011, I also became a member of the LabEx Corail program (laboratory of excelence) which is studying coral reefs in the context of global change. I am also associate researcher in the IPAL lab (Image and Pervasive Access Laboratory), a CNRS International Mixed research Unit located in Singapore, since the end of 2018. In october 2019, I defended my habilitation thesis (HDR), entitled "Mining spatio-temporal patterns: colocations, sequences and dynamic attributed graphs", at the University of New Caledonia.
My research interest is spatio-temporal data mining (e.g. environmental databases, sensor data, satellite image time series) and application to environmental sciences.
I received my PhD in computer science from the University of Clermont-Ferrand (France) in December 2006. I was supervised by Pr. Jean-Marc Petit and Dr. Fabien De Marchi (LIRIS, Lyon, France). The title of my dissertation was "Towards adaptive and generic solutions for interesting pattern mining in data".
After my PhD, I join the University of Lyon (France) and its database team. I also worked with EDF R&D (a major company in electricity generation and distribution) to valorize logs generated by the information system monitoring hydroelectric plants.
