Set Up Photo

I hold a PhD in Linguistics, specializing in Computer Science, from Aix-Marseille Université. My doctoral research was supervised by Dr. Philippe Blache, Dr. Magalie Ochs, Dr. Roxane Bertrand, and Dr. Stéphane Rauzy. I also collaborated with Dr. Louis-Philippe Morency during a research stay at Carnegie Mellon University. I was funded by the ILCB and affiliated with both the Laboratoire Parole et Langage (UMR 7309) and the Laboratoire d'Informatique et Systèmes (UMR 7020).

My research adopts an interdisciplinary approach to the study of human-to-human and human-computer interactions. During my PhD, I focused on conversational feedback and its role in communication. Currently, I am interested in exploring individual variability and adaptability in conversation, particularly from the perspective of speaker style and alignment mechanisms, integrating a multimodal and interdisciplinary approach.

My expertise includes:

I would be delight to connect with anyone interested in discussing my research or exploring collaboration opportunities. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me at auriane.boudin@univ-amu.fr
