The CRENAU team of the AAU lab (http://aau.archi.fr/) of Ecole Centrale 
de Nantes works on urban environnement perception.
We propose a PhD student position in urban data viz (see attachement for 
details), with IRCCYN lab (http://www.irccyn.ec-nantes.fr/ 
<http://www.irccyn.ec-nantes.fr/fr/>).
We are looking for student interested in urba data perception, user 
experience and a multidisciplinary research environment.

Background, Context:

Theunderstandingofcomplexspatio-­‐temporal urbandataisa 
criticalchallenge in urbanplanning as the stakeholdershave to take into 
accountnumerousconstraints related to various domains embedding 
sustainable, social and economical concerns.

Totacklethisproblem,geovisualizationusesmethodsbasedonhumanperceptionand 
cognition toshowtheunderlyingmeaningofspatio-­‐temporal 
datasets.ThisPhDthesis proposestoexplorevisualization methodsinvarious3D 
environments(Desktop,VR,AR, SAR) to find the best solution for a given 
user task (exploration, decision) at a given

urban scale (building, street, district, etc.).

ThisPhDininformationvisualizationtakesplaceinto an 
pluridisciplinaryenvironment 
(computerscience,geoinformation,humanities):theCRENAUteamoftheAAU lab 
(http://crenau.archi.fr/),which <http://crenau.archi.fr/%29%2Cwhich>is a 
foundingmemberoftheIRSTVresearchinstitute 
(www.irstv.fr),andtheIVCteamoftheIRCCyNlab (http://www.irccyn.ec-­‐ 
<http://www.irccyn.ec-/>nantes.fr/fr/equipes/ivc).Â

Research subject, work plan:

Theworkis about displaying spatio-­‐temporal urbandatain 
aneffectiveway. Based on theuser'sprofile,behaviorand task,

model will be based on standards

currently used in GIS and/or BIM communities. User tests will be 
conducted to evaluate
