Jean-Daniel Fekete

Fekete received his PhD from the Paris-Saclay University in 1996.[https://www.aviz.fr/~fekete/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CV Jean-Daniel Fekete's Resume. Retrieved Jan 20, 2022])

He obtained his Habilitation in 2005, entitled "Nouvelle génération d'Interfaces Homme-Machine pour mieux agir et mieux comprendre" (New generation of Human Machine Interfaces for better interacting and understanding) at Université Paris-Sud 11 (now Paris-Saclay University). The jury was Joëlle Coutaz (Prof. Université de Grenoble II), Saul Greenberg (Prof. University of Calgary, Canada), Ben Shneiderman (Prof. University of Maryland, USA), Michel Beaudouin-Lafon (Prof. Paris-Saclay University, FR), Jean-Gabriel Ganascia (Prof. Sorbonne University, FR), Guy Mélançon (Prof. Université Montpellier III, FR) and Claude Puech (Prof. Grenoble Alpes University, FR).

As an undergraduate student he worked at the Centre Mondial Informatique et Ressource Humaine.

From 2009 to 2012 Jean-Daniel Fekete was the president of l'AFIHM,[http://afihm.org/?page_id=156], AFIHM's website (in french). the French national equivalent of Association for Computing Machinery SIGCHI. He has served as IEEE InfoVis Paper Co-Chair (2009–2010) and Conference Chair (2011). He was the general chair of the IEEE VisWeek 2014 conference (Paris, France).

From August 2001 to August 2002 Fekete was a visiting scientist at the University of Maryland Human-Computer Interaction Lab (HCIL), which he previously visited (July to August 1998) to develop "Excentric Labeling"[http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid=302979.303148], Fekete, J-D, Plaisant, C. 1998.
