Short Bio

I am 28, I obtained my PhD in Informatics from University Montpellier 2, France in November 2006.

Since September 2007, I am a postdoc at the Stanford Center for Biomedical Informatics Research (BMIR) (the lab was previously called Stanford Medical Informatics) within Mark A. Musen's group. I am working in the National Center for Biomedical Ontology (NCBO) project. I am mainly working on semantic annotations of biomedical data using biomedical ontologies.

I obtained a BSc, a MSc, and a PhD in Informatics from University Montpellier 2, France. From 2003 to 2006, I had a French government PhD grant and I was supervised by Stefano A. Cerri. I worked on multi-agent systems, grid and service-oriented computing.

I was a member of the Laboratory of Informatics, Robotics, and Microelectronics of Montpellier (LIRMM), in the Kayou team, concerned with topics such as agents and multi-agent systems, constraints, learning, Web, Grid, service oriented architecture, ontologies, collaborative learning.

From 2003 to 2007, I also worked as a young lecturer and later, as a temporary assistant professor (French Attaché Temporaire d'Enseignement et de Recherche (ATER)) of computer science respectively at University Montpellier 2 and University of Montpellier 3.

I am interested in several domains such as Biomedical Informatics, Ontology and Semantic Web, Data integration and annotation, Multiagent systems, Service-Oriented Computing, Grid, Semantic Web, e-learning, distant collaboration, etc. [Research section]
