Research

I am studying how people interact with their computing systems, and how we can improve this interaction. In particular, my research aims at enabling complex activities in challenging environments. I contribute to enabling users to achieve their needs regardless of their location. My work can be broken down in three categories: I explore expressive interaction techniques, investigate how to adapt interaction to the constraints of the wild (out of the office), and how automation can augment user capabilities in challenging environments.

I am currently a post-doc researcher at the University of Waterloo working with Daniel Vogel and Jesse Hoey. I hold a Ph.D. degree in Computer Sciences specialized in Human Computer Interaction from Telecom ParisTech. My Ph.D was in collaboration with GE HealthCare and directed by Yves Guiard and Éric Lecolinet.
