AUTHORS BIOGRAPHIES
Thomas Lopez is a research engineer
in computer science for INSA de
Rennes. He received his masters
degree in 2008 and his PhD degree
in Computer Science from the INSA
of Rennes in 2012. His research
interests focus on virtual reality,
immersion, and also on autonomous
agent and path planning.
Pierre Chevaillier is full professor
in Computer Science at the ENIB
(Brest, France) and is a member of the
Lab-STICC. His research interests are
in articial intelligence (multi-agent
systems) and virtual reality. The over-
all objective is to provide solutions
for the design of collaborative vir-
tual environments that improve users
engagement. His current work aims at endowing vir-
tual agents with adaptive decision-making capabilities
that contribute to natural interactions between virtual
humans and users for the efcient coordination of
their actions.
Valrie Gouranton received her
PhD degree in Computer Science from
the University of Rennes (France) in
1997. In 1999, she became the assis-
tant professor at the University of
Orlans, France. In 2006, she became
the associate professor of Computer
Science at INSA de Rennes (Engi-
neer School) and IRISA/Inria-Rennes.
Her research interests include virtual reality, 3D
interaction, and collaborative virtual environments and
training (CVET).
Paul Evrard received his MS degree
in Computer Science from the French
Institut dInformatique dEntreprise
in 2006 and his PhD degree in
2010 in robotics from the Uni-
versit de Montpellier 2, France.
He is currently a research scien-
tist at CEA-LIST at Gif-sur-Yvette,
France. His research interests include digital human mod-
elling and control, humanoid robotics, and humanrobot
interaction.
Florian Nouviale received his mas-
ters degree at Insa de Rennes in
2008. He is an engineer for Insa de
Rennes at the IRISA laboratory on the
Immersia platform and in the Hybrid
Team. His research interests include
computer vision, computer graphics,
virtual reality, immersion, and virtual
training.
Mukesh Barange is a PhD student in
Computer Science at cole Nationale
dIngnieurs de Brest (ENIB), France.
After an MSc Degree in Computer
Science and a Master Research degree
in Human Centered Information Sys-
tems at Telecom Bretagne, France, he
pursue his PhD in Computer Science
at ENIB. His current research interests
are virtual reality, natural language dialogue management,
semantic modeling, interaction and collaboration between
users, and virtual agents.
Rozenn Bouville After a 3-year
experience in the industry as R&D
engineer, Rozenn Bouville started
her PhD in 2009 at INSA (Rennes ,
France) and obtained her degree in
2012. She is now a research engi-
neer in the Hybrid Team of IRISA
in Rennes. Her research elds are
concern with computer graphics and
virtual reality environments with a special interest
in interoperability issues and virtual environments
for training.
Bruno Arnaldi received his PhD
degree in Computer Science from the
University of Rennes in 1988. For
his thesis, he introduced physically
based models in computer animation.
In 1988, he became a full time INRIA
researcher in computer graphics at
IRISA/INRIA. In 1994, he became
a professor in Computer Science at
INSA de Rennes (Engineer School). He was the head of
the Project SIAMES (Image Synthesis, Animation, Mod-
elling, and Simulation). He was the chairman of PERF-RV
and Part@ge, French National Platforms dedicated to vir-
tual reality. He was a member of the Network Management
Committee of the NOE INTUITION and currently the vice
president of the French Association for Virtual Reality
(AFRV). He is now the vice director of IRISA laboratory
(around 750 members).
