- Director of GRITI
(Inter-university Research Group in Intelligent Tutors, grouping
seven universities in Quebec, about 75 researchers).
- Director of the HERON
laboratory,Informatique et Recherche Opérationnelle, University

- Doctorat en informatique (1974) et Doctorat d'Etat
(1981) en informatique, Université de Nice.
Since 1988 our research interest is related to Intelligent
Tutoring Systems (ITS) a domain which regroups Artificial
Intelligence, Education, Pedagogy, Learning techniques, Knowledge
Engineering, e-learning, and Neural techniques. Our ultime goal
is to understand how our brain functions and produces knowledge,
how this knowledge is stored, retrieved and deployed.
This activity led to two important steps:
- the creation of the ITS International Conference (1988), held
now every two years in the world,
-
the creation of the GRITI group, involving 7
universities in Quebec, grouped around the SAFARI project which
produced about 70 graduate students and led to an international
recognition in the field
Our recent research interest is on Emotional Intelligence.
Emotions play a major role in learning, behaviour, and memorization
process. The center of emotions in the brain is the entry to
memory and knowledge retrieval. So, in focussing on this element
of the brain we wish to develop ITS able to control and manage
knowledge management and learning. The principle is to build
ITS able to control our center of emotions and strengthen human
learning.
