I'm currently Professor in the
Department of Mathematics
at
San Diego State University
occupying a position in applied harmonic analysis (I have been Assistant
Professor from 2014 to 2018).
I am a former member of the Centre de Mathématiques et de Leurs
Applications (CMLA) at the Ecole Normale Supérieure of Cachan (France).
From November 2010 to June 2014, I was an Assistant Adjunct Professor in
the Computer and Applied Mathematics group in the
Department of Mathematics
at UCLA.
Previously, I held a position as an image processing expert in the
Space, Observation, Intelligency and UAV systems Department at the DGA,
an institution of the French Ministry of Defense from 2001 to 2010.
I defended my Ph.D. in Mathematics in June 2006 (under the direction of
Prof. Yves Meyer (CMLA-ENS Cachan) and Dr. Bertrand Collin (DGA/CEP)).
In December 2012, I defended my "Habilitation à Diriger les
Recherches" in Mathematics (Habilitation thesis, equivalent to the
tenure in France).
I am also a "Professeur Agrégé" in Electronics and
Computer Science, graduated from the Ecole Normale Supérieure of
Cachan (promotion 1998) in France.
My fields of interest are:
- Applied harmonic analysis
-
Multiresolution analysis (wavelets and their geometrical extensions
like curvelets, contourlets...)
-
Data driven methods (Empirical wavelets, Empirical Mode
Decomposition...)
- Functional analysis, function spaces (BV, Sobolev, Besov...)
- Signal/Image processing
-
Application of signal processing in neuroscience (analysis of
Electroencephalogram signals involved in Epilepsy and Parkinson's
Disease)
-
Image modeling/analysis (texture analysis, image decomposition into
structures + textures + noise) and restoration (denoising,
deblurring, turbulence mitigation...)
-
Target detection and identification, area monitoring (intrusion
detection)
