Francis JAMBON
Assistant Professor in Computer Science
Laboratoire d'Informatique de Grenoble – Université Grenoble Alpes
Research
My research activities at Laboratoire d'Informatique de Grenoble (MeTAH and M-PSI teams) relate to concepts, methods and techniques to automate the analysis of humans interactions with digital systems in several contexts: interactive systems, simulators for training, geolocation systems... My research contributes to the field of computer science but is also linked to research questions from psycho-ergonomics, pedagogy, behavioral psychology, time geography...
Current research activities
In-line analysis of user activities from traces in the context of technology enhanced learning environments. The objective is to analyze in real-time human interactions with training simulators from heterogeneous types of traces (user actions, user perceptions, and simulation data), in order to detect correct execution of planned procedures and acquisition of skills. Related projects: MacCoy Critical, PILOTE2, MASSAÏ, and TELEOS
Analysis of recurrent mobility patterns in the context of family daily commutes. The objective is to analyze the raw geolocation data of GPS loggers to model daily commutes and to identify recurrent mobility patterns. Related projects: Mobi’Kids, SM2D, MobiTRACE, and TRACES
Eye-gaze interaction. The objective is to design new interaction metaphors and to propose specific interaction widgets for user interfaces controlled by eye-gaze. Related projects: IIRSuts 1 & 2 and GELATI
