Alma Cantu
My research interests are about the visualization of huge and complex dataset by taking into account the perceptual limitations of users. As such I am interested in perceptive and cognitive research; in multidimensional and temporal aspect of visualization and in characterization studies to understand the mechanisms behind visualizations. I mainly worked on aeronautic use cases such as signal intelligence or cockpit interaction but I am interested in any field facing complex or huge datasets. Simultaneously, I had the chance to work with technologies enabling immersivity and tangibility which allow me to question their advantages for visualization and interaction.
I am currently a post-doctoral researcher at ISAE-SUPAERO (a French engineering school specialized in aerospace) where I perform a human factor evaluation of a tangible device for airplane cockpit interaction (Airtius project). In October, I will join the Newcastle University to work on visualization for clinical data.
Regarding my background, I studied mathematic, computer science, computer graphics and human computer interaction during my bachelor and master studies (at Paul Sabatier University, Linköping University and the ENAC) and I completed a PhD in information visualization under the supervision of Thierry Duval and Olivier Grisvard (in between IMT Atlantique and Thales Airborne Systems).
