Dr. Mathilde Fort is an Associate Professor (Maître de conférences) at Université Grenoble Alpes, with dual affiliation at Université Lyon 1. She teaches primary school teachers at the Institut National Supérieur du Professorat et de l'Education (INSPE) and conducts research at the Laboratoire de Psychologie et NeuroCognition (LPNC) and the Centre de Recherches de Neurosciences de Lyon (CRNL). Education: Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches (2024): ATTENTION BOUBA! Rôles des mécanismes attentionnels et du symbolisme sonore dans l'acquisition précoce du langage PhD in Cognitive Psychology (2011): L'accès au lexique dans la perception visuelle et audiovisuelle de la parole Master 2 Research in Cognitive Sciences (2008) Master 1 in Cognitive Psychology (2007) Licence in Psychology (2006) Dr. Fort's research focuses on developmental psychology and psycholinguistics, with particular emphasis on audiovisual language perception and acquisition in infants . Her work explores how infants process talking faces, attention mechanisms, cross-modal correspondences, intuitive physics, the bouba-kiki effect, and infant face recognition. She investigates how these cognitive processes contribute to early language development and how they might differ in bilingual versus monolingual infants. Her research has significant implications for understanding language acquisition in educational contexts and for children with developmental differences. Her publication record reveals consistent themes in infant cognition research, particularly examining how infants use visual information from talking faces to support language acquisition. A significant thread in her work explores the bouba-kiki effect and sound symbolism in early development. Her recent research increasingly addresses real-world implications, such as the effects of face masks on infant social cognition during the pandemic, demonstrating both theoretical and practical relevance of her work. Scientific Awards: Prix du jeune chercheur de la fondation Christian Benoît (2015) Bourse post-doctorale NeuroCog (2018) Bourse SFR Santé Société (2019-2020) Bourse de Master 2 (2020) Dr. Fort actively supervises approximately 20 Master's students annually and serves on numerous thesis committees. She leads significant research projects including the ANR JCJC CONTROLEARN (2022-2025, 260k€) as Principal Investigator, and co-leads the BabyLab Grenoble and Pupil-lab Grenoble research platforms, securing substantial funding from ANR, CNRS, and the Fondation de France. As co-coordinator of the BabyLab Grenoble since 2022 and the Pupil-lab Grenoble since 2020, Dr. Fort oversees cutting-edge research on infant development using eye-tracking and other methodologies to study early language acquisition, face processing, and cognitive development in typically developing infants and those with atypical development. Her work bridges fundamental research with practical applications in education and child development.

Before joining RGU, he worked as a consulting researcher for major tech companies including Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Amazon. Dr. Brown's research spans Human-Computer Interaction, User Experience Design, Anthropology-Based Computing, and Calm Computing. He has developed new models of human cognition and interaction, using motion capture to study physiological strain of HCI, and both EEG and Anthropological methods to improve interaction with smart environments. His work focuses on how humans and tools co-adapt and co-evolve to shape society, technology, and the world. His recent publications show a strong focus on AI in education, computing pedagogy, and the philosophical aspects of technology education. The research trends indicate growing interest in ethical implications of AI, competency versus understanding in learning, and innovative assessment methods. Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA) Author of three books with Springer Contributor to Bloomsbury Encyclopaedia of Design and Salem Encyclopedia of Mathematics and Society Regular presenter at international conferences across four continents Dr. Brown serves as lead supervisor for three PhD students and co-supervisor for one additional student. He has established the S.O.C.R.A.T.E.S. workshop series for early-career researchers and the P.L.A.T.O. seminar series that connects professionals from various fields with RGU. His teaching includes modules on AI, Data and Society; User Centred Design; and Human Computer Interaction, each tracing technology's evolution from pre-historical to modern times. His H.F. G.U.I.L.D. research group focuses on interdisciplinary approaches to understanding and improving human interaction with technology, particularly in gaming, smart environments, and AI systems. The group explores how to make technology more intuitive, less intrusive, and better aligned with human cognitive and physiological processes.
