My research lies at the interface between social and computational sciences, around keywords such as social network analysis, complex system modeling, socio-semantic networks, mathematical sociology, sociology of the internet, social cognition, algorithmic society, qual-quant approaches, natural language processing, automated information extraction, graphs and hypergraphs.

Institutionally, I have been navigating between both areas as well: I have been holding a research professorship at CNRS since 2008 (“chercheur CNRS” i.e., tenured without teaching duties) in computer science while I also had a couple of tenured university positions in sociology, at Sciences Po as Associate Professor (“professeur”, 2016-18) and in Toulouse as Assistant Professor (“maître de conférences”, 2007-08) – see my resume for the specifics and the background.

I founded in 2012 and lead the Computational Social Science Team at Centre Marc Bloch in Berlin, a CNRS unit abroad which is additionally affiliated with the Humboldt Universität. Please check my team’s website for further information on our collective activity.

Since September 2023, I am member of the CAMS (CNRS/EHESS), and I have been elected « Directeur d’Etudes Cumulant » (Professor) at the EHESS.
