About Me
I am a Computer Science engineer, with a Master Degree in Human-Machine Interaction and a PhD in Human Motion Perception. I am currently working at PSA Peugeot-Citroën as research engineer in human motion perception and automotive comfort, with focus on the human factors and the interaction between the driver and the vehicle, in both real and virtual environment, such as a driving simulator. My professional experience as hardware-software developer and human factors research engineer, allowed me to acquire solid scientific knowledge in the domain of visual, auditory and inertial human motion perception and human behavior in real, virtual and augmented reality. My interpersonal communication skills allowed me to become one of the main liaisons between my team and our academic and industrial partners. This experience helped me develop my management skills by surveying and orienting collaborative research projects.
