Brief Research-Oriented CV
I received a Ph.D. in Computer Science in 2006 for my work on query languages over Web data. I did my doctoral research at INRIA in France, with a personal Ph.D. grant from the french ministry of research. I also spent 7 months doing research at IBM Watson in New York. I defended my Ph.D. in December 2006 in front of an impressive jury before leaving to EPFL for a post-doc in 2007. The same year I was awarded permanent researcher positions at INRIA and CNRS. I am now researcher at CNRS, member of the WAM research team of LIG and INRIA in Grenoble, France.
