Ambre Assor
PostDoctoral Researcher in Visualization at Aviz, Inria, Université Paris-Saclay, LISN, CNRS

Hi ! My name is Ambre (Ahn-br).
I hold a Master’s degree in Photonics and a PhD in Immersive Situated Visualizations from the Potioc project team at Inria Centre at the University of Bordeaux. My PhD was under the direction of Martin Hachet, co-direction of Pierre Dragicevic and supervised by Arnaud Prouzeau.
I am currently a postdoctoral researcher working on the URGE project, with Jean-Daniel Fekete aiming at optimizing care pathways through health data visualization. We are also collaborating with the French national health insurance (Assurance Maladie) to design and develop visualizations for analyzing the care trajectories of patients with prostate cancer.
I aim to continue exploring how visualizations can meaningfully contribute to healthcare.
