I am an associate professor at University Paris 8 (Saint-Denis) where I teach classes about formal linguistics, psycholinguistics and methodology. My researches focus on investigating the syntactic complexity of French Sign Language (LSF) through formal and experimental studies of subordinate clauses. I am also interested in the acquisition patterns of complex sentences in this modality (Project SiLSA, ANR grant number ANR-23-CE28-0022-01).
