Graduated in Computer Science and Robotics Engineering, I have been teaching computer science in France for 10 years before moving to Barcelona to work as a researcher under the supervision of Mel Slater in the EventLab at the University of Barcelona. I am now working as an associate professor in the Multimedia team of the Computer Sciences Department (EIMT) at the Open University of Catalunya (UOC) where I am responsible of 3D programming, Virtual Reality and video games programming.

My research considers the use of virtual reality and immersive technologies as tools to carry out research both at the technological level and at the psychological level, studying for example the behavior of people in virtual worlds, the contribution of immersive technologies in education or Health/eHealth.
