Encyclopedia
Michel Beaudouin-Lafon is a French computer scientist working in the field of Human-Computer Interaction. He received his PhD
from the Paris-Sud 11 University
in 1985. He is currently Professor of Computer Science
at Paris-Sud 11 University since 1992 (in the In Situ group ) and was director of LRI, the laboratory for computer science, from 2002 to 2009.
He has worked in Human-Computer Interaction for over 20 years and was elected to the ACM SIGCHI Academy
in 2006. His research interests include fundamental aspects of interaction, engineering of interactive systems, computer-supported cooperative work and novel interaction techniques. In 2004, his paper "Designing interaction, not interfaces" has been one of the most heavily downloaded papers in the ACM Digital Library.
Michel Beaudouin-Lafon was one of the founders, and first president, of AFIHM, the French national equivalent of Association for Computing Machinery
SIGCHI. In recent years he has played major roles in CHI
and UIST conferences, serving as program chair or program committee member. From 2002 to 2008, he was a member-at-large of the ACM Council and member of the ACM Publications Board.
