L'ÉTS est l'École de technologie supérieure, une école de génie faisant partie de l'Université du Québec. Avec ses étudiants de maîtrise et de doctorat, Michael effectue des recherches dans les domaines de la visualisation d'information et l'interaction humain-machine (IHM). Il a publié trois articles cités plus de 100 fois chaque, et en 2009, son article à la conférence de visualisation d'information de l'IEEE (InfoVis 2009) reçut une mention honorable. Il a aussi été membre pendant plusieurs années du comité de programme de la conférence InfoVis. Avant son poste à l'ÉTS, Michael était chercheur postdoctoral à l'Institut de cancer de l'Ontario, dans le laboratoire du Dr. Igor Jurisica, où il développait des visualisations et des interfaces utilisateurs pour la bioinformatique. Il a complété son Doctorat en philosophie (Ph.D.) en informatique à l'Université de Toronto, où il travaillait dans le laboratoire du Dynamic Graphics Project (DGP) avec le Prof. Ravin Balakrishnan comme directeur de thèse. Pendant ses études doctorales, il a passé trois ans comme Fellowship Student de IBM CAS à Toronto. Il détient également une Maîtrise en sciences (M.Sc.) en informatique de l'Université de Toronto, et un Baccalauréat avec honneurs en sciences appliquées (B.A.Sc.) en génie informatique avec option génie logiciel de l'Université de Waterloo. Avant sa maîtrise, il travaillait comme développeur logiciel et créait des interfaces utilisateurs chez Alias|wavefront à Toronto et Discreet Logic à Montréal (les deux faisant partie maintenant d'Autodesk), et chez CAE à Montréal. Originaire de Chibougamau, Québec, Canada, Michael vit dans une famille trilingue, et aime bien faire du karaté.

Erdős number: 3; H-index: 13; G-index: 30 (based on scholar.google citation counts returned March 2013) Research Interests:Human-computer interaction, user interface design, interaction techniques, information visualization, scientific visualization, interactive computer graphics in 2D and 3D.Bio:Michael McGuffin is an Associate Professor in the Department of Software and IT Engineering at ETS in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. ETS is the "École de technologie supérieure", a French-language engineering school within a provincial network of institutions called the University of Quebec. Along with his master's and PhD students, Michael conducts research in information visualization and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). He has published three papers cited more than 100 times each, and in 2009, his paper at the IEEE Information Visualization Conference (InfoVis 2009) received an Honorable Mention. He has also served during multiple years on the program committee for IEEE InfoVis. Previously, Michael was a post-doctoral researcher at the Ontario Cancer Institute, working on visualizations and user interfaces for bioinformatics, within Dr. Igor Jurisica's lab. He completed a Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Toronto, where his homebase was the Dynamic Graphics Project (DGP) lab, and where his advisor was Prof. Ravin Balakrishnan. During his Ph.D. studies, he spent three years as an IBM CAS Fellowship Student at the IBM Toronto Lab. He also holds a Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Computer Science from University of Toronto, and an Honours Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.Sc.) in Computer Engineering with Software Engineering Option from the University of Waterloo. Prior to his graduate studies, he worked as a software developer, creating user interfaces at Alias|wavefront in Toronto and Discreet Logic in Montreal (both companies now part of Autodesk), and CAE in Montreal. Michael hails from Chibougamau, Quebec, Canada; enjoys living in a trilingual household; and dabbles in karate.

- October 2012: Maxime Dumas and Sébastien Rufiange travel to Seattle, Washington, to attend IEEE VisWeek 2012.
- October 2012 (images below): A HIFIV brainstorming session around the user interface of a prototype zoomable whiteboard application that uses novel multitouch radial menus. Three instances of the prototype were running to be played with: one on a 32-inch 3M multitouch display, and two more on 10-inch Android tablets. The prototype was itself used to sketch alternative user interfaces (and food) during brainstorming.
