معرفی
José Rouillard is a Lecturer-Researcher in Computer Science (section 27) at Université de Lille, affiliated with the CRIStAL laboratory (Centre de Recherche en Informatique, Signal et Automatique de Lille) where he works in the Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) research team. His academic position combines teaching responsibilities with active research in human-computer interaction, particularly focusing on novel interface technologies and assistive applications.
Dr. Rouillard's primary research interests center around Brain-Computer Interfaces with particular expertise in Steady-State Somatosensory-Evoked Potentials (SSSEP). His work explores multimodal interaction techniques, virtual reality integration with BCI systems, and applications for individuals with motor disabilities such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Recent publications (2023-2024) demonstrate continued innovation in BCI technology, including Wizard of Oz studies on user perception, advanced SSSEP recording techniques with cEEGrid systems, and multimodal cobot interaction frameworks using MQTT protocol. His research bridges theoretical neuroscience with practical applications for assistive technologies.
As an educator, Dr. Rouillard has created one of the most comprehensive App Inventor 2 teaching resources available, with 76 detailed projects covering the full spectrum of mobile application development. His course materials progress from basic applications to advanced implementations involving Bluetooth communication with Arduino, Firebase database usage, and AI APIs including OpenAI's ChatGPT and DALL-E. His teaching spans multiple academic years, with documented student projects from 2013 through 2023 across various Master's programs including MMD IAE, MIAGE, and e-Services.
- Supervised PhD thesis: "Hybrid brain-machine interface to overcome disability caused by Duchenne muscular dystrophy" (Alban Dupres, 2016)
- Supervised PhD thesis: "Filtrage somesthésique pour des interfaces cerveau-ordinateur utilisant des stimulations vibro-tactiles" (Jimmy Petit, 2022)
Dr. Rouillard maintains a strong educational presence through his extensive online resources, including YouTube video tutorials, NextCloud file sharing for course materials, and detailed project guides. His student projects demonstrate practical applications of mobile development across diverse domains including health monitoring, gaming, social networking, and educational tools. The breadth of his educational impact is evident in the hundreds of student applications documented from 2013-2023, showcasing his commitment to practical, hands-on learning in computer science education.
