Current projects
Where I currently put my energy: AI for water and air in West Africa, NLP for local languages, and open-source research software. Past projects are listed on a dedicated page.
SSaFe & WaTAIR Ongoing
Sustainable Sanitation Facilities (SSaFe) brings AI-leveraged water sanitation to the point of use in West Africa. Its flagship product, WaTAIR (Water Treatment using AI and Robotics, led by M. Agbahoungbata with A. Ambarka), targets optimal wastewater treatment in the African context. WaTAIR was initially funded by the AI Movement / African Women in Tech & AI programme (UM6P, 2024).
Benin Air Quality Initiative Ongoing
Durable PM2.5 monitoring for sustainable clean-air governance in Benin (SDG 3 & 11). I lead the data systems, open-data workflows, analytics and stakeholder-facing evidence products. With Clean Air One Atmosphere, the University of Abomey-Calavi and Sèmè City (SCITI); funded by the EPIC Air Quality Fund (2026).
NLP Crew Ongoing
Research group conducting NLP research for our local languages, particularly those of Benin (Fongbé, Yoruba): speech recognition, embeddings, text-to-speech. Affiliated to the LRSIA lab, IFRI/UAC.
CPPxDIC & CppNCorr Ongoing
Open-source 2D digital image correlation (DIC) software in C++ for neuroscience applications, developed for high-throughput imaging pipelines.
PANTHER / CyberExcellence Ongoing
Formal verification and testing of network protocols: the PANTHER framework and the NACT methodology found and reproduced real-world vulnerabilities in five QUIC implementations. Started under the Walloon CyberExcellence post-doctoral fellowship.
Dionysos.jl Ongoing
Control-system problem solver developed at UCLouvain (abstraction-based control); I contribute to the optimization side.
Social project
DJAKA DJAKA Handball Club Ongoing
A sports and social project in Abomey-Calavi (Benin). Sport: recruiting age-based players from schools and training them into competitive players. Social: an ambitious programme helping families fight poverty, juvenile delinquency and violence against children, and supporting minorities, women and children, all through sport and appropriate social support.
