I'm currently a software engineer for the Lernout & Haupie Speech company. I'm currently involved for the Corporate Research & Development department, Interactive Systems Division.
My work has focused so far on design and evaluation of
user interfaces (UI), in particular UI that support multiple interaction
modalities such as speech and direct manipulation. My educational background
lies in software engineering. In this page you will find more about my:

Software engineer
Interactive Systems., January 2000 - now
Company: Lernout & Hauspie.
Task: More to come...
Research engineer
SCS-CMU,
September 1998 - January 2000.
Host and group: Pr. Waibel,
A. Human-Computer
Interaction Institute.
Project CStar-II: consortium of 20 partners and affiliate organizations from 10 countries dealing with speech-to-speech translation.
Work at Carnegie Mellon within a team of a dozen of people. Design & development of the Cstar's shared web applications, which feature collaborative navigation, work and video over the web. Integration of those applications with the Janus speech recognizer, the Npen handwriting (and drawing) recognizer. Setup & administration of video conferencing systems, an IP over ISDN private network and the Cstar's web page database.
Research assistant
CLIPS-IMAG,
October 1997 - September 98.
Host and group: Pr. Coutaz,
J. Human-Computer Interaction Group.
Project: Design and development of a 10-15 users Mediaspace.
The prototype allows users to perform the following communication tasks:
glance at someone, tele-visit a location, V-phone with someone while moving
around in the office using a video tracking system, and publish private
state variable through publication filters. Users are also able to control
the system using speech. |
Software developer
Paris, December 1996 - September 1997.
Host: Military service, French army.
Service: Implementation of a managing tool for vehicules
maintenance and reparation. The software has been developed with ACCESS
2 on three PC/Windows. |
Cognitives science Master study
CLIPS-IMAG, October 1995 - July
1996.
Hosts and groups: Pr. Coutaz,
J., Human-Computer Interaction Group;
CNRS Director Caelen, J. GEOD
Group ; Pr. Bisseret, A. INRIA.
Study: Feasibility study and design of an automatic tool
for the evaluation of multi-modal and multi-user human-computer interfaces. |
Software Engineering Master project
CLIPS-IMAG, October 1994 - September
1995.
Host and group: Pr. Coutaz,
J., Human-Computer Interaction Group.
Project: COMEDI in association with the CNET
UI and software design of a multiservice telecommunication terminal.
Design and implementation of a tool dedicated to ergonomic evaluation of
this terminal. The software has been developed in C for the functional
core and Hypercard for the UI on Apple Quadra. |
Computer Science training
Laboratoire de Genie Informatique de Grenoble, September 1993 - September
1994.
Project: CARMINAT for Renault
Recherche
Software testing of a UIMS that generates user interfaces to be embedded
in cars. The software has been developed in C/C++ on Sun workstation. |
