Members - Computational social science at Centre Marc Bloch

Current members

Camille Roth

Faculty / CNRS

Camille is tenured full research scientist at CNRS in computer science after having been Associate Professor in sociology at Sciences Po Paris. His research focuses on the description and modeling of socio-semantic systems, in particular the digital public space and scientific communities, using Social Network Analysis and Natural Language Processing. He founded the team in 2012.

Telmo Menezes

Postdoc / CNRS

Telmo is specialized in Artificial Intelligence and its applications to the Social Sciences. He is broadly interested in the interplay between human and artificial intelligence in the digital public space. His research is currently focused on representations of knowledge for claim and belief propagation analysis.

Jérémie Poiroux

PhD student / CNRS

PhD student in sociology at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (Paris) and at Centre Marc Bloch (Berlin), Jérémie studies the design and the impacts of algorithms in organisations.

Katrin Herms

PhD student / CNRS

Katrin pursues an interdisciplinary PhD project in sociology linking social network analysis of polarized Internet communities with face-to-face Interviews. Her main interests are discourse analysis and social dynamics emerging around political issues in France and Germany.

Jonathan St-Onge

Research assistant / CNRS

A former philosopher of science and cognitive scientist, Jonathan St-Onge now purses a PhD in computational social science. His research focuses on the structure and dynamics of socio-semantic systems in digital niches using a mix of network theory, probabilistic programming, and natural language processing.

Romain Avouac

Administrateur de l'INSEE in training

Romain works as a trainee public statistician at the French statistical institute. As a research assistant for a year at the CMB, he focuses on developing NLP approaches that go beyond classical distributional approaches in order to better assess the semantic similarity between actors' online positions.

Dougal Shakespeare

PhD student / RECORDS

PhD student researching the role of algorithmic guidance on music streaming platforms as part of the ANR-funded project, RECORDS. His research focuses on exploring differentiations between algorithmic and organic music consumption behaviours, tracing the degree to which commonly deployed filtering algorithms may expand or rather, constrain the diversity of one's music preference.

Manuel Tonneau

Research engineer / CNRS

With a background in economics and statistics, Manuel then acquired a machine learning skillset. He will combine stance detection methods and network analysis in an empirical study of echo chambers on Twitter.

Titouan Morvan

Research engineer / CNRS

Titouan is a mathematics student specializing in statistics and machine learning. He will work on semantic hypergraphs with applications to debates on climate and energy policies.

Govind Gandhi

Master Student / IISER Pune

Govind is a physics major interested in network theory and AI. He is focusing on extending a framework to describe the evolution of socio-semantic networks over time, using local rules.
