Aurélien Bénel is an HDR Lecturer (Associate Professor) in Computer Science at the University of Technology of Troyes, affiliated with the LIST3N laboratory's 'Technologies and Practices' research axis. He teaches across multiple academic levels, including undergraduate courses in Software and Information Systems Engineering (e.g., Information System Analysis), graduate courses in software innovation (e.g., Service-Oriented Architectures, Agile Methods), and doctoral seminars on Socio-Technical Systems and research methodologies.

His research focuses on software technologies for intellectual work instrumentation, with experimental applications in archaeology, sociology, translation, and engineering. He develops and maintains open-source tools through the Hypertopic suite, including participatory platforms (Porphyry, LaSuli, TraduXio) and infrastructure components for image corpus management and semantic categorization. His interdisciplinary work intersects with digital humanities, knowledge engineering, and human-computer interaction.

Bénel actively contributes to scientific communities as a reviewer in Digital Humanities, Digital Document studies, Knowledge Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, and Computer-Supported Cooperative Work. His publications emphasize participatory systems, semantic technologies, and the sociotechnical aspects of digital tools.
