Bonjour, I am Damien 👋. I am an Assistant Professor in Human-Computer Interaction at the Université de Montréal,
where I co-lead the Montréal HCI group.
I am also an associate academic member of Mila and an IVADO professor.
I am looking for talented students (PhD, master's, or
undergraduate) to join my group. If you are interested, please read this before emailing me.
My current research interests include (but are not limited to):
- Designing intelligent systems (see supercharging trial-and-error and DirectGPT)
- Visualizing information (see Charagraph and ChartDetective)
- Augmenting digital documents (see Chameleon, Statslator, and my PhD thesis)
