anastasia bezerianos

I am currently an assistant professor at Ecole Centrale Paris. My interests lie in novel interaction and visualization design and evaluation.

Before my current position, I was a research scientist at National ICT Australia (NICTA) and part of the [braccetto] project. There I investigated challenges and benefits in using large displays, vertical and horizontal, in multi-user groups, collocated and distributed.

I completed my PhD at the dgp lab of the department of Computer Science at the University of Toronto. Under the supervision of Ravin Balakrishnan, I investigated challenges when interacting with wall-sized displays at close proximity.

Prior to my PhD, I completed a MSc in University of Toronto under the supervision of Alejo Hausner, where I used projections of scene hierarchies to accelerate ray tracing. I received my BSc from the department of Informatics at the University of Piraeus.
