He is also an associate member of the Centre de Recherche en Ethnomusicologie (CREM-LESC, Paris Nanterre University).

He was awarded the thesis prize by the Quai Branly Museum (2011), the Bartók prize for his film Plan-séquence d’une mort criée (2005), and a prize by the Charles Cros Academy for his book Tsiganes, musique et empathie (Éditions de la Maison des sciences de l’homme, 2014). The English version of the latter, Roma Music and Emotion (Oxford University Press, 2021), has been awarded the ICTM book prize (honourable mention) and the William A. Douglas Prize in Europeanist Anthropology.
