As part of the RECORDS project, I have access to the streaming histories of Deezer users. Using statistical physics tools, I model individual and collective behaviors to understand how new music is integrated into listening practices and spreads through space.

My thesis is part of the MELODYNAMICS project, funded by the Mission for Interdisciplinarity Initiatives (MITI) of the CNRS.

Supervised by Thomas Louail (Geography – Cités), Marc Barthelemy  (iPhT), and Manuel Moussallam (Deezer Research).
