I am an assistant professor in contemporary history at the Centre for Contemporary and Digital History. My research focuses on social media and what some AI systems do to the ways we are understanding our historical past. I am the managing editor of the Journal of Digital History and I co-edited the Goût de l’archive à l’ère numérique with Caroline Muller (Rennes 2). Caroline recently published Écrire l’histoire to which I contributed.

This page is a repository for some of my prez, presents AI events I was part of, list my non-academic and my academic writings. I will publish some unpublished texts on a sort of blog.
