Jean-Daniel Fekete is a French computer scientist.

Education

Fekete received his PhD from the Paris-Saclay University in 1996.[1])

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, Saul Greenberg, Ben Shneiderman, Michel Beaudouin-Lafon, Jean-Gabriel Ganascia, Guy Mélançon, and Claude Puech.

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

Research

After an early career working in startups[1] developing medical diagnostic expert systems[2] and interactive 2D animation software,[3] Fekete joined INRIA. He is currently the Scientific Leader of the Aviz group, which he created in 2006.[1] Aviz is an INRIA group, and also part of Université Paris-Saclay.[4]

Fekete's main fields of research are visual analytics, information visualization and human–computer interaction.[5]

Fekete developed the Infovis Toolkit,[6] a Java toolkit to facilitate the design of information visualization interfaces; and later expanded this work into the meta-toolkit Obvious.[7]

He led the development of techniques for the interactive analysis of graphs[8][9] using various representations including the early use of matrices,[10][11] and their evaluation.[12]

Making visualization more accessible to social scientists and historians has been a goal in the development of several tools, e.g., to analyze social networks,[9] genealogical structures,[13] or collections of structured documents.[14]

Early work on large scale visualization[15] led to contributions on progressive analytics as a method for managing big data analysis,[16] and the organization of a Dagsthul seminar.[17]

Additional research directions include visualization literacy,[18] and data physicalization such as with the Zooid user interface,[19][20] which received an award at UIST'2016.[21]

From 2009 to 2012 Jean-Daniel Fekete was the president of l'AFIHM,[22] 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"[23] along with Catherine Plaisant as a technique to display a high density of labels on maps.

Awards

In 2020 Jean-Daniel Fekete was elected to the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) CHI Academy, for his contributions to the field of study of human–computer interaction.[24]

In October 2020 Fekete was recognized by IEEE VGTC with the 2020 Technical Achievement Award for "his research innovations in network visualization, visual analytics infrastructure, and data physicalization."[25]
