Summary
Quentin Roy is an Associate Professor and HCI researcher based in Grenoble with 11 years of experience designing rich, mobile and cross-device interactions that work in real-world constraints. His work spans novel input techniques, wearable and mobile platforms, and evaluation methods aimed at enabling everyday computing tasks to be performed everywhere efficiently and safely. Quentin completed a PhD (in collaboration with GE Healthcare) under Yves Guiard and Éric Lecolinet, and has held research positions at Télécom ParisTech, SMU, and the University of Waterloo. He combines rigorous academic training in software engineering and cognitive interaction with applied industry collaboration, informing both inventive prototypes and practical deployment considerations. Known for exploring not-obvious affordances of devices in the wild, he often studies how subtle input modalities and cross-device coordination change real user behavior. He balances deep technical craftsmanship with human-centered evaluation to push HCI beyond lab settings into everyday use.
