My research focuses on Digital Humanities, Natural Language Processing and Deep Learning. I am particularly interested in the methods of dissemination, sharing and valorization of heritage collections through the prism of Digital Humanities in order to track the circulation of knowledge.
Within the scope of my PhD thesis I am currently working on the tracking of the circulation of the medical discourse of Jean-Martin Charcot, founder of modern neurology in the XIXe century.
