He obtained his Habilitation in 2005, entitled "Nouvelle génération d'Interfaces Homme-Machine pour mieux agir et mieux comprendre" (New generation of Human Machine Interfaces for better interacting and understanding) at Université Paris-Sud 11 (now Paris-Saclay University). The jury was Joëlle Coutaz (Prof. Université de Grenoble II), Saul Greenberg (Prof. University of Calgary, Canada), Ben Shneiderman (Prof. University of Maryland, USA), Michel Beaudouin-Lafon (Prof. Paris-Saclay University, FR), Jean-Gabriel Ganascia (Prof. Sorbonne University, FR), Guy Mélançon (Prof. Université Montpellier III, FR) and Claude Puech (Prof. Grenoble Alpes University, FR). He is currently Senior Researcher at INRIA and the founding and current director of the AVIZ[1] group since 2007.

He developed the Infovis Toolkit[2] which is a Java toolkit to facilitated the design of information visualization interfaces.

From August 2001, to August 2002 he is visiting scientist at the University of Maryland Human – Computer Interaction Lab (HCIL), which he previously visited (July to August 1998) to develop "Excentric Labeling"[3] along with Catherine Plaisant as an efficient technique to display height density of labels on maps.

From 2009 to 2012 Jean-Daniel Fekete was the president of l'AFIHM,[4] the French national equivalent of Association for Computing Machinery SIGCHI. He has served as IEEE InfoVis Paper Co-Chair (2009–2010) and Conference Chair (2011). He was the general chair of the IEEE VisWeek 2014 conference (Paris, France).

Jean-Daniel Fekete was elected to the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) CHI Academy in 2020, for his contributions to the field of study of human–computer interaction.[5]

In October 2020 Fekete was recognized by IEEE VGTC with the 2020 Technical Achievement Award for "his research innovations in network visualization, visual analytics infrastructure, and data physicalization." [6]
