Gilles BAILLY

I am CNRS Research Director (HDR) at the ISIR Laboratory (Multi-Scale Interaction team) of Sorbonne Université. I was previously CNRS researcher at Telecom ParisTech. I received my PhD in Computer Science from the Univ. of Grenoble (2005-2009), after which I was a post-doctoral research at Telecom ParisTech (2009-2010), Telekom Innovation Laboratories (2011-2012), Max-Planck Institute für Informatics (2012), Cluster of Excellence of multimodal interaction (2013).

I am one of the 4 co-directors of the PEPR project “eNSEMBLE: the future of collaboration” (38.5M euros) with Michel Beaudouin-Lafon-Lafon (Univ. Paris-Saclay), Stéphane Huot (Inria) and Laurence Nigay (Univ. Grenoble Alpes). Finally, I am the principal investigator of the ANR NeuroHCI project (using computational neuroscience for HCI)

Current research themes

My research is at the crossroad of HCI, skill acquisition, decision making, AI and robotics. I design novel interaction techniques (Desktop interaction, mobile interaction, gestural interaction, etc.) and build predictive models of performance and knowledge with a focus on the transition from novice to expert behavior.

• HCI & IA: Trust & IA [CSCW’22]; Menu adaptation [CHI’21], Model of menu performance [CHI’18] [CHI’15], MenuOptimizer [UIST’13]
