DESCRIPTION:The idea that design and use are clear\, separate 
 phases in the life cycle of technologies falls apa
 rt under scrutiny: individuals and communities are
  all the time “working to make technologies actual
 ly work” by selecting\, combining\, modifying\, an
 d contextualizing them. By contrast\, our consensu
 s model of interactive systems — the technology st
 ack supporting ‘applications’ — produces static\, 
 closed tools that resist user appropriation. I am 
 working towards a software model where interface e
 lements\, input devices\, and documents are all ‘s
 tuff’ that may arrive in particular constellations
 \, but can be untangled and recombined in use. In 
 particular\, this has led to the development of tw
 o novel mechanisms for programming interactions\, 
 which I call co-occurrences and entanglements. I w
 ill present and discuss this ongoing work.\n\n\nSp
 eaker Bio:\nI'm currently a third-year PhD student
  in the ex)situ research group [1] at Université P
 aris-Saclay\, working under the supervision of Pro
 f. Michel Beaudouin-Lafon. My work focuses on mall
 eable software\, an approach to tailorable/customi
 zable systems that seeks to unify the experiences 
 of "using" and "changing" software. I have pursued
  this research theme both by prototyping novel sof
 tware architectures and studying use contexts that
  can motivate and challenge the vision.\nI am work
 ing under Michel's ERC Advanced Grant project\, ON
 E: Unified Principles of Interaction\, which seeks
  to develop design principles and technologies to 
 reconstruct software for our contemporary multipli
 city of documents\, tools\, people\, and devices [
 2].\nBefore starting my PhD\, I took my bacehlor's
  and master's degrees in Computer Science at Aarhu
 s University in Denmark.\n\n[1] ex-situ.lri.fr\n\n
