Émilie is the Data Engineer at the Archaeology Data Service, University of York, a Research Fellow at the University of Oxford, and Co-Director at the Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative.

Her topical research interests encompass Mesopotamian social history, human-environment relationships, Sumerian philology, and Computational Linguistics of cuneiform languages. She reuses and develops cutting-edge technologies required to attain her research objectives and to preserve and render accessible digital cultural heritage.

Émilie employs both a traditional philological approach and computational methods in her work. Although her education is based in the Humanities, she has perfected her skills in data science, with a focus on data management and curation, natural language processing, and network analysis.

Her encompassing objective is to catalyze a culture shift towards open data and knowledge, sharing and discovery. Her mission is to champion accessibility, synergy, and interoperability across diverse fields, focusing on the material culture and textual heritage of ancient societies. She is committed to advancing open access, developing innovative tools, and fostering global collaboration for the greater good. By leveraging linked open data and progressive technologies, she aims to empower diverse communities, enrich research practices, and contribute to a global scholarly network. This commitment extends to the well-being of her family, community, and the environment, ensuring a sustainable and inclusive impact.

Can Quantum-Mechanical Description of Physical Reality Be Considered Complete?

In a complete theory there is an element corresponding to each element of reality. A sufficient condition for the reality of a physical quantity is the possibility of predicting it with certainty, without disturbing the system. In quantum mechanics in the case of two physical quantities described by non-commuting operators, the knowledge of one precludes the knowledge of the other. Then either (1) the description of reality given by the wave function in quantum mechanics is not complete or (2) these two quantities cannot have simultaneous reality. Consideration of the problem of making predictions concerning a system on the basis of measurements made on another system that had previously interacted with it leads to the result that if (1) is false then (2) is also false. One is thus led to conclude that the description of reality as given by a wave function is not complete.
