I am a professor working in the Université Savoie Mont Blanc and in the LPNC (CNRS UMR 5105).
I am a Junior Honorary Member of the Institut Universitaire de France 

I am primarily interested in cognition, and more specifically in psycholinguistics and reading.

My main findings (obtained with my collaborators) are the following:

• The Lexical Association Technique : Short language exposition sessions can be used to improve self-esteem
• Consonants are more important than vowels during lexical access in reading
• Reading automaticity occurs only after 5 months of teaching reading in French
• Letters are perceived as taller than pseudoletters, words are perceived as taller than pseudowords
• Subtitle frequencies are better predictor of reading times than written frequencies
• The very good results from subtitles movies and TV series frequencies is another demonstration that phonological representations are very important during reading
• Blogs and Twitter frequencies are good alternative to book and subtitle frequencies
