STAFF PROFILE
Marc Cavazza
Professor of Intelligent
Interactions
Marc Cavazza has been
researching intelligent interfaces,
a topic at the intersection of
artificial intelligence (AI) and
human-computer interaction, for
over 20 years. This has led him
to investigate virtual characters,
multimodal interfaces, affective
and physiological computing,
and, more recently, braincomputer
interfaces. The target
applications for his research
have ranged from computer
games and digital arts to
healthcare systems.
Throughout his career, he has
led research teams in industry
and academia, has been
involved in large EU-funded
research projects, and
supervised the development of
20 fully implemented prototypes,
two of which have won best
demonstration awards at firsttier
conferences.
