I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Southern Denmark. Formed in Canada, Denmark, Sweden, and Belgium, I hold a Ph.D. summa cum laude in Cognitive Computing and a Masters in Philosophy, both from the University of Quebec in Montreal, as well as a Bachelor's degree in Political Science from the University of Montreal. Both as postdoc and data scientist, I also worked for various organisations interested in various aspects of scholarly communication.  

Grounded in computational linguistics and in the philosophy and sociology of science and information, my research takes a simultaneously descriptive, explanatory, evaluative, and ameliorative perspective on scholarly communication, considered both as an object of study and as a methodological resource. On one hand, I rely on various theoretically-informed and computationally-assisted methods to study the dynamics of knowledge production, diffusion, and evaluation within and beyond the scholarly community. On the other, I use scholarly digital footprints as ground truth and benchmark material to help design, train, evaluate, and improve the tools and procedures used to analyse scholarly activity, from the factors that drive it to its local and global repercussions.
