In brief ...
I'm currently Assistant Professor at the University of Toulouse (France), teaching in the Institut Universitaire de Technologie (IUT) in Tarbes and leading my research in the IHCS research group of the Research Institute of Computing Science of Toulouse (IRIT).
About me ...
I first spent 5 years in the Université de Technologie de Compiègne
(UTC)
where a received a "Master Degree" in Computing Science.
During that time I have the opportunity to spend 7 months in Frankfurt-am-Main (Germany)
and also 8 months in Vaduz (Liechtenstein) during two training periods.
Then, I moved to the University of Grenoble
(Université
Joseph Fourier). There, I did my PhD student in the LIG research lab and was
supervised by
Laurence Nigay and
Jocelyne Troccaz.
I obtained my PhD in Computing Science in July 2001.
During 2001/2002, I spent one year in the Department of Computing Science
(DCS) in the University of Glasgow (Scotland - UK) as a visiting
research scientist, working with Phil Gray.
Finally I "landed" in Toulouse and Tarbes in 2002 !
... and now !
My research domain is Human Computer Interaction and I am more specifically interrested
in design methods for user's interaction with Mixed Interactive Systems (also known as
augmented reality, context-sensitive systems, augmented virtuality, etc.).
Concerning the teaching part of my job, I am mainly teaching in Tarbes to undergraduate students. Lessons includes
Java programming language, programming for the web and a bit of HCI. In Toulouse I am teaching to master
students, especially introducing specificities and constraints of the design and implementation of
advanced interaction techniques (mixed interactive systems, augemnted reality, tangible UI, mixed reality, etc.)
