Summary
Carmen Lebas is a Senior Research Engineer with over a decade of experience at the intersection of geospatial sciences, digital humanities and computational linguistics, currently leading the geomatics and digital humanities platform at EHESS. She combines a PhD in geographic information sciences with hands-on project leadership, technical support in GIS, NLP, data analysis and the development of research applications for the humanities and social sciences. Her work spans long-term research programs (TopEditor, TopUrbi, Toledo Espacio y Tiempo, Savoirs EHESS) and operationalizing data-rich workflows for scholarly use. Based in Nantes, she blends academic rigor from roles at CNRS, Sorbonne and IGN with practical teaching and engineering experience, making her adept at translating complex research requirements into maintainable tools and services. An underappreciated strength is her sustained focus on methodological support and capacity-building in research teams, not just software delivery.
