My work focuses on computer science education: how to teach databases, modelling and project management in French high schools (the NSI computer science track) and at university, and what role generative AI should play in the classroom. I teach at the Faculty of Sciences and Technology of Nantes Université and take part in training computer science teachers, notably with IREM Pays de la Loire.
I also develop teaching tools such as QueryCraft, SQLSandbox and InitAlgo, used in my courses and in teacher training.
Previously, I worked on the Semantic Web and natural language processing, and headed the Computer Science Department of the Faculty of Sciences in Nantes (2019-2023).
