I have finished my PhD at the computer science research center (CRI) of the École des mines de Paris (ENSMP). My advisor here was Pierre Jouvelot.

You can download my PhD thesis Educational Video Games and Motivation: Application to Jazz Practice (in French).

I have been studying the educative power of computer games, especially in the musical field. We have created in that perspective the original game Pads'n'Swing dedicated to jazz and improvisation teaching using gamepads as friendly musical instruments.


Before my PhD program, I have graduated the French engineering school Supélec and a Master of Science at IRCAM, the French institute of research and coordination acoustics-music. To know more about me, feel free to email me.
