DESCRIPTION:The idea that design and use are clear\, separate phases in th
 e life cycle of technologies falls apart under scrutiny: individuals and c
 ommunities are all the time “working to make technologies actually work
 ” by selecting\, combining\, modifying\, and contextualizing them. By co
 ntrast\, our consensus model of interactive systems — the technology sta
 ck supporting ‘applications’ — produces static\, closed tools that r
 esist user appropriation. I am working towards a software model where inte
 rface elements\, input devices\, and documents are all ‘stuff’ that ma
 y arrive in particular constellations\, but can be untangled and recombine
 d in use. In particular\, this has led to the development of two novel mec
 hanisms for programming interactions\, which I call co-occurrences and ent
 anglements. I will present and discuss this ongoing work.\n\n\nSpeaker Bio
 :\nI'm currently a third-year PhD student in the ex)situ research group [1
 ] at Université Paris-Saclay\, working under the supervision of Prof. Mic
 hel Beaudouin-Lafon. My work focuses on malleable software\, an approach t
 o tailorable/customizable systems that seeks to unify the experiences of "
 using" and "changing" software. I have pursued this research theme both by
  prototyping novel software architectures and studying use contexts that c
 an motivate and challenge the vision.\nI am working under Michel's ERC Adv
 anced Grant project\, ONE: Unified Principles of Interaction\, which seeks
  to develop design principles and technologies to reconstruct software for
  our contemporary multiplicity of documents\, tools\, people\, and devices
  [2].\nBefore starting my PhD\, I took my bacehlor's and master's degrees 
 in Computer Science at Aarhus University in Denmark.\n\n[1] ex-situ.lri.fr
