Scholars I currently supervise are generally based at my computational social science team at Centre Marc Bloch in Berlin – feel free to check the dedicated website for more extensive details on our collective activity – and increasingly at CAMS at EHESS in Paris.

Here is also a short presentation video which may now be a bit outdated (2019) yet could still provide a glimpse of the team’s goals and composition.
