Background
My interest is in Human-Computer Interaction and Computer Science. I strongly believe that HCI is at the root of many problems of Computer Science, including programming. In fact, I think that Computer Science is the science of controlled, automatic transformations, from data to perception. As a researcher, I tend to favor iconoclast ideas that shake established concepts to their roots.
I teach Participatory Design (in particular in the Master IHM), and I strongly believe that success pertains to good communication inside teams, with well-defined problems, and well-crafted solutions, implying all stake-holders. I apply this mantra with the researchers I lead in my team, and during the projects I am invovled in.
