Welcome to my website! I’m David. Right after high school, I studied five years at Polytech Marseille. It is an engineering school in the South of France, member of the Polytech Network (fourteen engineering schools within French leading universities). I specialized in Biomedical Engineering during three years. I did my final 6-months internship at EMA (Engineering Medical Applications), a company which develops software to manage patients’ files in dialysis and nephrology. I also worked there for one year after graduation, on many projects, using several languages (PHP, Javascript, 4D and Python).

In 2017-2018, I left EMA and I did a research master degree in Virtual Reality and Smart Systems at Evry University, near Paris. In the final 6-months phase, I did an internship in a laboratory called IBISC.

Therapeutic games are popular tools for stroke rehabilitation. They aim to keep patients engaged in a heavy recovery program through training that is less annoying to follow. I took part in proposing a method to automatically adapt the difficulty of exercises for post-stroke rehabilitation games, which was then implemented in a pronation-supination exercise built on a runner-like game.

From January to August 2019, I worked as a Research Enigneer at LIMSI, which is part of CNRS, French National Centre for Scientific Research. I worked on a state-of-the-art for a project around adaptive HCI based on users personality. I focused on adaptive HCI, persuasive technologies, psychology and especially Regulatory Focus Theory and Self-Determination Theory.

Since September 2019, I am a PhD student in this same lab. My subject is "HCI adapted to the personality of users: application of motivation to physical activity". You can check my dedicated page to research here.
