Arthur manipulating virtual content using a Hololens AR headset.

Hi! I am an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Université Toulouse III Paul Sabatier, and a member of the ELIPSE team at the Institut de Recherche en Informatique de Toulouse (IRIT).

I was previously a postdoctoral researcher on the InterPlay research project within the ILDA team at the Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire des Sciences du Numérique (LISN). I did a PhD at Université Paris-Saclay in the Ex-Situ team, under the supervision of Theophanis Tsandilas and Cédric Fleury, and defended my thesis on "Collaborative Design in Augmented Reality: Supporting multiple views and parallel versions of the design space" in April 2023.

I am also a former research engineer from the LSI team at CEA LIST, where I took part in various projects, from motion capture for character animation in Virtual Reality to tangible interactions for collaborative Augmented Reality.

While questionning the current and likely use of Augmented and Virtual Reality, I am interested in developing new interactions techniques with these technologies, as I believe they might facilitate collaboration and enhance multi-display environments.
