Background
  • Professor of Computer Science at the University of Lorraine (IUT Nancy-Charlemagne)
  • Head of the Multispeech research team, a joint team between Inria, CNRS, and the University of Lorraine
  • Research focuses on multimodal speech communication, investigating relationships among acoustic signals, articulatory movements, facial expressions, and co-speech gestures (head, hands, posture)
