IGNACIO AVELLINO

(aka Nacho)

Ignacio Avellino

Hi! My nickname is Nacho, I am a researcher in HCI. I am currently a post-doc at the Institut des Systèmes Intelligents et de Robotique (ISIR) within the Sorbonne Université. I am at the intersection of two teams: AGATHE, which designs and develops technology with medical applications, and INTERACTION, which focuses on the interaction with these technologies. This strategic position enables me to perform in-situ observations of surgeons, design interfaces for medical devices, and test them with specialized workers. In the everyday lab life, I spend my days with the guys at the HCI group. The Labex CAMI generously founds me.
