I am a senior research scientist (directeur de recherche) with Inria at its Saclay/Université Paris-Saclay campus, at the southern outskirts of Paris.

I am member of the Scientific Visualization and Computer Graphics research group within the Johann Bernoulli Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science of the University of Groningen, the Netherlands. Since September 2010,

My research focuses on questions in the fields of interactive scientific visualization and illustrative rendering, using methods from computer graphics, non-photorealistic rendering (NPR), and human-computer interaction. I am specifically interested in (2D and, in particular, 3D) interaction techniques for work with visualizations on non-traditional hardware (large surfaces, AR/VR, hybrid settings) as well as illustrative visualization that is inspired by traditional illustration, such as questions on how to use and control abstraction in visualization.

I am currently looking for a PhD student with a solid background in visualization and machine learning who is interested in working with me on the topic of Visualization of the Plausibility and Bias for Data Resources used in a Geographic Digital Twin, starting in the fall of 2027.

Please note that only applications in English will be considered.
