Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolCédric Foucault is a multidisciplinary HCI researcher and software engineer with 14 years of experience building interactive systems across industry and academia, currently a Junior Research Fellow at Christ Church, University of Oxford. He blends rigorous experimental methods from cognitive science with hands‑on prototyping skills (iOS/Android, OpenGL, Bluetooth, networking) honed at Apple, Siemens, and leading research labs. His work focuses on empowering users through cross‑device interactions and pragmatic prototypes that reveal technical constraints and inform design decisions. A PhD-trained researcher with top honors from École Normale Supérieure and Paris‑Sud, he has published controlled experiments (e.g., CHI) and delivered wearable and assistive applications validated with real users. Colleagues value his ability to bridge designers, engineers, and scientists, and to turn empirical insights into deployable demos. Less obvious: he habitually reduces development friction by shipping high‑fidelity prototypes that double as experimental platforms, accelerating both product and research cycles.
