• Starting 2026, I do not accept any PC/SPC/AC invitation to AI/ML/… conferences having more than 3000 submissions, nor am I the lead author/main proposer of any submission to those, as I believe that beyond this threshold (which is probably conservative), it becomes impossible to ensure a global high-quality reviewing process of scientifically advanced papers. I also do not encourage students to submit to such large scale events, preferring small-scale, specialized ones, but I still explain to them that these conferences are helpful for getting a job and gain visibility, and that they still “have” to play the game to some extent (luckily, CNRS gives enough freedom to its researchers and has a qualitative assessment process, so I can avoid playing it without much personal consequences). I however do not forbid myself to be a co-author of one of those paper, provided I had a significant contribution to it.

I graduated from the Faculté Polytechnique de Mons as an Engineer with a specialization in computer science and applied mathematics. In 2004, I spent one year in Supaero, now a part of Institut Supérieur de l'Aéronautique et de l'Espace.

My thesis was done under the supervision of Didier Dubois and Eric Chojnacki. During it, I spent my time between the Institut de Recherche en Informatique de Toulouse and the Institut de Radioprotection et Sûreté Nucléaire. My main research topic was the development of imprecise probabilistic methods for risk analysis (with a particular focus on nuclear risks).

I then spent more than two years in the laboratory of Ingénierie des Agropolymères et Technologies Emergentes as a CIRAD research engineer, developing decision aid methods and tools for agronomical problems, using mainly imprecise probabilistic approaches.

Since October 2011, I'm a CNRS researcher in the Heuristique et Diagnostic des Systèmes Complexes research unit. I am currently leading the CID team since September 2020, and am the holder of the SAFE AI chair (funded by the UTC Fondation à l'innovation) since 2021. My main topic of research is severe uncertainty modelling and handling, with applications to a number of fields including risk analysis, image processing and machine learning.
