Resume / CV
Summary
In charge of the interaction design program at l'Ecole de design for 10 years, I am now the director of the READi design lab.
During those years, I developed serious skills in students management and in pedagogical engineering by setting up adapted programs into this new area of teaching. I'm in charge of developing industrial partenerships to offer students the opportunity to work on real industrial projects (Orange, Dassault Systems, Technicolor...). I teach "Projects management by design", "Methodology", "HCI Evolutions" and directly related to real time 3d : Virtools (Dassault).
I'm interested in Information Visualization and especialy on "datatainment" : a portmanteau word (I created) combining “data” and (enter) “tainment” which refers to a new way of representing digital data related to the activities of individuals within the information world. datatainment is a concept that intend to implement the dynamic transposition of a community’s information-related activities to real amusement-oriented environments.
