Research activity

My research interests cover relational data integration, data mining, knowledge discovery process from data with applications in the life sciences and biomedical areas. Recent works are related to knowledge graph embeddings, Graph Neural Networks,  and inductive databases.

Grants and projects

I am coordinating on the French side a France-Brazil CAPES-COFEUC cooperation program entitled « New drugs against invasive fungal infections: from hits to optimised leads through machine learning » (2023-2027)

I am PI on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning  in the CARE-In-Health Horizon Europe Project coordinated by Professor Magnus Bäck (2022-2027)

I was co-responsible of a workpackage in the RHU project entitled Fight Heart failure (FHF), coordinated by Professor Patrick Rossignol. This RHU research project which was granted with 9M€ as a future-investment project (2015-2021)

I was part of the CPER project entitled ITM2P (Innovations Technologiques, Modélisation et Médecine Personnalisée), coordinated by professor Faiez Zannad, was granted with 4.3 M€ for medical devices and for setting up technological platforms. I was involved in the so-called SMEC platform which stands for Simulation, modeling and knowledge extraction from bio-medical data (2015-2020)
