Stéphane Conversy


Professor of Computer Science and Human-Computer Interaction
Head of Interactive Informatics Team
Co-Director of MSc Computer Science - HCI
ENAC-LII & Université de Toulouse, France

Background

My interest is in Human-Computer Interaction and Computer Science. I strongly believe that HCI is at the root of many problems of Computer Science, including programming. In fact, I think that Computer Science is the science of controlled, automatic transformations, from data to perception. As a researcher, I tend to favor iconoclast ideas that shake established concepts to their roots.

I teach Participatory Design (in particular in the Master IHM), and I strongly believe that success pertains to good communication inside teams, with well-defined problems, and well-crafted solutions, implying all stake-holders. I apply this mantra with the researchers I lead in my team, and during the projects I am invovled in.
