Associate professor at INSA Lyon and the LIRIS lab (DRIM team) since September 2025, I am interested in heterogeneous data management, data integration, interoperability, data exploration, possibly being AI- and/or LLM-flavoured.
Previously, I enjoyed working at the DEIB department of Politecnico di Milano as a post-doctoral researcher and Inria Saclay as a PhD student supervised by Pr. Ioana Manolescu. My thesis was on summarization and exploration of semi-structured datasets.
