Research

My research focuses on the design and the use of rich applications in the wild. My aim is to improve the expressiveness of human-computer interaction in the go (e.g. in a train or while walking the street). My ultimate goal is to enable most computer tasks to be performed everywhere—efficiently and safely.

I leverage mobile devices, wearable devices and cross-device interaction. I investigate novel input techniques, novel input capabilities and novel evaluation methods.

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.
