Senior🎓
Top SchoolSerena Villata is a research leader with nine years of experience at the intersection of AI, argument mining, natural language processing and normative reasoning, currently heading the MARIANNE research team at Inria and serving as Research Director at CNRS. She combines deep academic roots—a PhD and top honors in Computer Science from the University of Turin—with sustained leadership roles including Deputy Scientific Director at Institut 3IA Côte d'Azur and a chaired position on "Artificial Argumentation for Humans." Serena’s work sits at the rare confluence of formal argumentation and practical NLP, informing ethics and policy engagement such as her membership in France’s national digital ethics pilot. Known for translating theoretical models of argument and norms into research programs and institutional strategy, she balances technical rigor with public-facing responsibility. Based in France, she brings a strong track record of shaping research agendas that bridge formal AI methods and human-centered applications.
