I am researcher at Inria, currently holding a Starting Research Position at team WIMMICS where I previously initiated the French DBpedia project between 2011 and 2013 with the Ministry of Culture and Wikimedia France. I'm also senior consultant for UNESCO (IIEP), working on controversy analysis. I hold a PhD in Philosophy from Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne (summa cum laude). My thesis (defended in April 2013) was dedicated to the Philosophy of the Web. Since May 2013, I'm also senior expert for Etalab, the Prime Minister Open Data agency of the French government. I also co-founded the W3C "PhiloWeb" Community Group in 2012.

Previous professional experiences: In the Summer 2013, I spent some time in Weimar, as a Research Fellow at IKKM (Internationale Kolleg für Kulturtechnikforschung und Medienphilosophie, Bauhaus Universität, Weimar). I had been previously working (for three years) as the Head of Web Research at the Institut de Recherche et d'Innovation (IRI) du Centre Pompidou. Before that, I did some research in the Digital Humanities at the École nationale des chartes.
