About Me

Bruno Dumas was a lecturer and PostDoc researcher in the Web & Information System Engineering laboratory (WISE), at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) in Belgium. Under the supervision of Prof. Beat Signer and in collaboration with PhD student Lode Hoste, he worked on research including Multimodal Interaction, Tangible Interaction and Cross-Media Information Spaces as part of the MobiCraNT research project. He is currently working as a professor at the University of Namur.

He received his PhD in Computer Science in the DIVA research lab at the University of Fribourg in 2010. His PhD research was centered around fusion of multimodal input, along three different axes: architectures, modelling and algorithms. The study of these axes lead to the development of a framework for creation of multimodal interfaces (HephaisTK), a XML-based language for the modelling of multimodal human-machine interaction (SMUIML), as well as the development of adaptivity-capable multimodal fusion algorithms.

Bruno is currently working as professor at the Université de Namur.
