Cyril Labbé

Cyril Labbé received a PhD in computer science (1999) and a MS in applied mathematics from University of Grenoble.
He is a tenured professor in computer science and co-PI of the ERC-Synergy "Nano Bubbles: How, how, when and why does science fail to correct itself?". He is at the head of the Information Systems research team (Sigma-team) at the Grenoble Informatics Laboratory, France. His research interest includes large scale data management and text analysis. His work on text-mining and automatic detection of bogus scientific paper, has led to retractions or withdrawals of countless computer science and bio-medical publications. He created the "scigen detection" and "seek&blastn" softwares, participated to the "Problematic Paper Screener" website and did also create Ike Antkare, a fictitious scientist, that had once (dixit Google Scholar) an astonishing h-index.
