Présentation
Since August 1, 2026, I have been an Associate Professor in the Department of Automatic Control, Production Engineering and Computer Science (DAPI) at IMT Atlantique, on the Nantes campus. I am a member of the PACCE team at the LS2N (UMR CNRS 6004). Alongside this primary affiliation, I am an associate member of the CNRS International Research Laboratory CROSSING, the French–Australian laboratory for Human / Autonomous Agents Teaming, and facilitate its Interaction working group. CROSSING provides the research framework for my joint PhD supervision and collaborations in Australia. From September 1, 2021 to July 31, 2026, I was based on IMT Atlantique’s Brest campus, in the Computer Science department, where I was a member of the INUIT team at Lab-STICC (UMR CNRS 6285). My research focuses on perception and embodied interaction in Virtual and Augmented Reality. It explores how augmented representations alter spatial perception, body perception, and affordances, as well as how immersive interfaces can support cooperation between humans and autonomous or intelligent systems. I lead the ANR JCJC PAEIAR project and contribute to several national and international projects involving partners in Australia and Japan. In nov. 2020, I defended my PhD thesis, entitled “Toward a Characterization of Perceptual Biases in Mixed Reality: A Study of Factors Inducing Distance Misperception”, conducted in cooperation between Centrale Nantes, the Inria Hybrid team as well as the AAU Crenau, and supervised by Guillaume Moreau, Ferran Argelaguet and Jean-Marie Normand. Before this, I obtained an engineering degree at Centrale Nantes in 2017.
