Lionel VillardDirector
Researcher at LISIS, lecturer at ESIEE Paris

I am an assistant professor at ESIEE-Paris, researcher at LISIS and head of Platform Cortext, working at the intersection of science and technology studies, economic geography, and digital research methods, with a focus on socio-semantic, spatial and data-driven approaches. A detailed presentation of my academic work is available on my website: presentation and research interests, research projects, scientific contributions, teaching & courses, and my past web projects.

My core domains of expertise are:

  1. processing large volumes of data (publications, patents, press articles and financial data) collected from heterogeneous sources in structured databases;
  2. their analysis, especially when there include a Geographical dimension (mapping through GIS…);
  3. quantitative indicators and social network analysis.

These tools and methods built as part of his research, provide necessary backgrounds to develop analysis of scientific and technological fields.
