I was born January 24, 1970 in Sarrebourg, France. I received the Dipl.-Ing. and the M.S. degrees in 1994 and the Ph.D. degree in 1998 from the University of Technology of Compiègne, France, all in electrical and computer engineering. From 1999 to 2003, I was an Associate Professor at the University of Technology of Troyes (UTT), France. From 2003 to 2009, I was a Professor in the Institut Charles Delaunay (ICD, CNRS FRE 2848), LM2S Group, at UTT. I was also the supervisor of the LM2S Group. Since september 2009, I am a Professor in the Lagrange Laboratory (University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis, UMR CNRS 7293, Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur). In winter 2009, and autumns 2010 and 2011, he was a Visiting Researcher with the Department of Electrical Engineering, Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), Florianopolis, Brazil, to collaborate with Prof. Jose-Carlos M. Bermudez. I am a junior member of the Institut Universitaire de France since October 2010.

My current research interests include statistical signal processing and machine learning.

I am the author of over 130 papers. I was the General Chair of the XXIth francophone conference GRETSI on Signal and Image Processing that was held in Troyes, France, in 2007, and of the IEEE Statistical Signal Processing Workshop (IEEE SSP'11) that was held in Nice, France, in 2011. Since 2005, I am a member of GRETSI association board and of the EURASIP society, and Senior Member of the IEEE. In 2006-2010, I served as an associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing. Since 2009, I serves as an Associate Editor of Signal Processing Elsevier. I am an Eurasip liaison local officer, and member of the Signal Processing Theory and Methods (SPTM) Technical Committee of the IEEE Signal Processing Society.

Paul Honeine and I won the Best Paper Award for "Solving the preimage problem in kernel machines: a direct method" at the 2009 IEEE International Workshop on Machine Learning for Signal Processing.
