Research Interests
Research interests and expertise
I am a digital games researcher specialising in cultural heritage valorisation with video games. I worked previously with the Centre des Monuments Nationaux (French equivalent of English Heritage) on monuments like the Mont-Saint-Michel, or the Panthéon, with which I created the video games OFabulis and Les Mystères de la Basilique. I began experimental research on natural heritage valorisation with the cultural landscape of the national museum of Port-Royal des Champs with the project Vestigia. At Falmouth University, I am now working on natural heritage valorisation in partnership with the Eden Project.
