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.
