Suliac Lavenant
HCI PhD Student
Loki Research Team,
Inria Center of Lille University
I am a third-year Ph.D. student in HCI (Human-Computer Interaction) at Inria, in the Loki group.
I am supervised by Thomas Pietrzak, Sylvain Malacria, Laurence Nigay and Alix Goguey.
My PhD is about designing new interaction techniques and improving existing ones using haptics.
I work in both microgesture and haptic fields.
The Ph.D. is founded by the ANR MIC project.
