I am Associate Professor in Computer Science at the LIM Mathematics and Computer Science laboratory, Sciences and Technologies Faculty of Reunion University, Saint-Denis of La Réunion. Before joining Reunion University in 1994, I was a Ph.D. student at INRIA of Rocquencourt and University of Paris IX Dauphine, from where I also got my Ph.D. in Computer Science (Machine Learning and Symbolic-Numeric Data Analysis applied to the Knowledge Management of specialists in Biology). My research interests lie in Knowledge Engineering and Human Computer Interaction with an emphasis on co-design and social aspects of computing.

I am especially interested in user-centered approaches related to environmental management for sustainable development, in which biodiversity informatics is a central concern for better protection of our heritage: we only protect what we better know!
