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 most of my work is 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. I also 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). Currently at capacity, but feel free to contact me for future opportunities.
