My research was originally focused on causation and tort law. I have also been working for a long time on dispute resolution methods and legal professions and more broadly on business law. 

Today, it is mainly issues related to the digital transition that occupy my time: disruptive innovations, deployment of platforms, blockchain, autonomous machines, massive recourse to predictive algorithms, storage and processing of mass data (Big Data), development of a " digital economy " that is structured around data, all of which pose novel legal issues.

Whatever my object of study, I always strive to maintain an approach that is both interdisciplinary and comparative. Legal issues only make sense if one is able to immerse oneself in the scientific, philosophical, and economic dimensions of the questions posed. They must also be approached in the light of foreign experiences. This is the approach followed during, for example, the Blockchain day organized with some colleagues at ENS Ulm in July 2018, the videos of which can be seen here: Interdisciplinary Workshop on Blockchains.

Professor at the University of Lorraine, I am also an associate researcher at the IHEJ (Institute of Higher Studies on Justice) and co-holder of the Digital, Governance and Sovereignty Chair of Sciences Po (see the link to the website of the Digital, Governance and Sovereignty Chair).

Finally, I have always maintained links with the United States and, in particular, have maintained a privileged relationship with the University of Chicago School of Law. , In March XNUMX we co-organized a first conference which took place at the Palais du Luxembourg and was entitled "  Law and Big Data«  (link to the youtube channel of the conference Law and Big Datahere). This collaboration continued with the organization of a second conference entitled Legal Challenges of the Data Economywhich took place at the Collège des Bernardins in March XNUMX. The videos of this second conference can be viewed on the University of Chicago's YouTube channel here:  Legal Challenges of the Data Economy.

My interests today revolve around XNUMX main themes: artificial intelligence and Big Data, blockchain, platform regulation, the legal professions and civil liability.
