Bio

I started a PhD on Handheld Augmented Reality Interaction in 2011 with Laurence Nigay and Takeshi Kurata as part of the AMIE project in Engineering Human-Computer Interaction team (ECHI), Laboratoire d'Informatique de Grenoble (LIG).

Beforehand, I worked as an engineer in research institutes on:

User interaction and user interface toolkit for handheld devices for the NOMAD project in ECHI, LIG (Demo).
Haptic feedback for scientific visualisation for the GeoBench project in former i3d team, INRIA Grenoble (Pictures).

I also worked in private companies on payment terminal and set-top-box middleware. I contributed to Maaate!, an audio analysis toolkit during an internship in former Analytic Audio Systems team, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO).
