Short Bio
Stéphane Galland obtains academic degrees in the Computer Science: university degree on technology (1995) at Belfort (France), bachelor (1996-1997) and research master (1998) at the University of Besancon (France). Stéphane Galland supports a PhD thesis in 2001 at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Saint-Etienne (France) to obtain the title of Doctor. The subject of his thesis is a methodological approach for the design and the realization of multi-agent simulations of distributed industrial systems. In 2002, he integrates the Computer Science Department of the Université de Technologie de Belfort-Montbéliard (France) where he is responsible of several "Image, Interaction and Virtual reality" courses. In 2002 also, Stéphane Galland integrates the Laboratoire Systèmes et Transports (SeT) where he continues his research task on the topic of multi-agent simulation of complex systems (cities, highway networks, crowd...) with a large scale and a multi-view points of view, and applied to virtual reality environment.
