Ongoing projects

  • 2025–present
    REseaux, Territoires en Interactions et interrelations Cartographiques (RETICULAR) – Université Gustave Eiffel (UGE).
    The project first aims to examine the interoperability of applications for the analysis, exploration and geovisualisation of adjacency and flow matrices already developed at UGE (mainly Arabesque and CorText) and outside UGE (Netscity).
    More information: Journée d’étude “Espace & Interactions” .
  • 2025–present
    ACC – Fondation de l'Université Gustave Eiffel.
    Mapping the research landscape on climate change adaptation in France, identifying actors, themes and locations in line with the National Climate Change Adaptation Plan (PNACC).
  • 2023–present
    PLAT4TERFOOD – ANR.
    Platform of data, methods and devices for quantitative analysis and assessment of territorialised food systems. Support to the lead team on regional press data sources, data extraction and structuring, and design of a relational database on stakeholders (modelling, normalisation, SQL training).

Methodological focus

Across these projects, my contribution focuses on:

  • Design and management of large, heterogeneous databases (publications, patents, press, organisations).
  • Development of indicators and methods for spatial analysis, network analysis and scientometrics.
  • Socio-semantic analysis and mapping of emerging technologies and scientific domains.
  • Integration of tools within the CorText Platform and training of research communities in their use.
