Since October 2025, I am a Senior AI Fellow at PSL University (Paris Sciences & Lettres) and Paris-Dauphine, Lamsade, where I conduct research in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and I teach. I am also affiliated with the ALMAnaCH team at INRIA Paris.
My broad research area is Natural Language Processing (NLP), and more concretely I am focused on Computational Lexical Semantics, or how we can deal with words and their meaning computationally. I am interested in multiple aspects of meaning: (contextual) word meaning representation, paraphrasing, lexical style and connotation, semantic ambiguity, (near-)synonymy, tokenization and lexical semantic change, among others. In my most recent research, I investigate the dynamics of word meaning in dialog: how speakers understand, negotiate and adapt their word usage in interaction.
I am open to collaborations and welcome potential interns in my areas of research, as well as in related domains (NLP for mental health, low-resource languages, linguistic framing, and others: feel free to contact me.)
