Alexandre Alapetite (French, 1980) owns a doctorate (PhD, 2007) in informatics, with a focus on HCI (Human-computer interaction), multimodal-interfaces, speech recognition, and Web technologies.
He has been employed mainly by the Technical University of Denmark (2007-current), the IT University of Copenhagen (2007), and Risø National Laboratory (2003-2006). This included a participation on numerous European and Danish research projects.
Alexandre has been involved in the design, implementation, simulation and/or evaluation of various human-machine interfaces such as multimodal interfaces for an electronic anaesthesia record (medical domain), voice commands and infrared enhanced vision for aircraft pilots, gaze interaction for people with disabilities, etc. Additional experiences include being a systems architect for an experimental location-based service in an airport, and missions as an IT consultant.
