Jean-Daniel Fekete received his PhD in Computer Science in 1996 from Université Paris-Sud. From 1997 to 2001, he joined the Graphic Design group at the Ecole des Mines de Nantes that he led from 2000 to 2001. He was then invited to join the Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory at the University of Maryland in the USA for one year.
He was recruited by INRIA in 2002 as a confirmed researcher and became Research Director in 2006. He is the Scientific Leader of the INRIA Project Team AVIZ that he founded in 2007.
His main Research areas are Visual Analytics, Information Visualization and Human Computer Interaction.
Jean-Daniel Fekete is the President of the French-Speaking HCI Association (AFIHM), Co-Editor in Chief of the "Journal d'Interaction Personne-Système" (JIPS), Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics (TVCG), Associate Editor of the International Journal of Human-Computer Studies (IJHCS), Conference Chair of the IEEE InfoVis Conference in 2011, Paper Co-Chair of the IEEE Pacific Visualization conference in 2011.
