Curriculum Vitae Current situation Post-doctoral position at CNRS (LTCI, Telecom-ParisTech, UMR 5141) in Catherine Pelachaud's team, and in the context of the European project NoE SSPNet (Social Signal Processing Network). Research topic: Design of a dynamical model of intersubjectifvity during verbal interaction. This model aims at conciliating the use of language, which manipulate representations, and the dynamical coupling aspects of any social interaction between agents (human, virtual or robotic). According to this approach, intersubjectivity, as well as shared emotions, shared sense and empathy, is based on the synchrony which emerges from the coupling between agents.
