Holding a PhD from Paris-Sud University (Paris XI), she is studying affective and social dimensions in Man-Robot spoken Interactions. Associated with Paris-Sud University, this laboratory researches two major themes:

  • mechanical and energetic;
  • human-machine communication.

She is an author of numerous books on artificial intelligence:[9]
