I am an Associate Professor of Computer Science at the University of Victoria. I co-lead VIXI with my colleagues Sowmya Somanath, Miguel Nacenta and Regan Mandryk. I specialize in information visualization and human computer interaction.

More specifically, me and my students conduct research on designing and studying new interactions for visualizations and on understanding how people may make use of and interact with visualizations in their everyday lives. We are particularly interested in designing visualization tools for authoring personal visualizations and for exploring and communicating open data; in sports visualization; and in visualization beyond the desktop.

Before joining UVic, I was a Lecturer in the Department of Computer Science at City, University of London, and part of the giCentre research group. Before that I was a Post-doc in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Calgary with Sheelagh Carpendale. I obtained my PhD on Direct Manipulation for Information Visualization, at Université Paris Sud-XI in 2014, under the supervision of Jean-Daniel Fekete in the INRIA team AVIZ and Frédéric Vernier at LIMSI-CNRS. Before that, I was born in Paris and grew up in Brittany.
