1985. He received the Master's and Ph.D. degrees in Applied
Mathematics from University of Paris 6, France, in 1983 and 1986,
respectively. He got the Habilitation à diriger des Recherches
from University Paris 9 Dauphine in 1995.
From 1985 to 1987, he
was member at the Computer Graphics and Image Processing group at
Schlumberger Palo Alto Research, Palo Alto, California and

Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) in the Applied Mathematics and
Image Processing group at CEREMADE,
Universite Paris Dauphine,
Paris, France. His research interests and teaching at university are
applications of Partial Differential Equations and variational
methods to Image Processing and Computer Vision, like deformable
models, minimal paths, geodesic curves, surface reconstruction, Image
segmentation, registration and restoration.
He is currently
editorial member of the Journal
of Mathematical Imaging and Vision, Medical
Image Analysis and Machine
Vision and Applications . He was also member of the program
committee for about 25 international conferences. He authored about
200 publications in international Journalsand conferences or book
chapters, and 5 patents.
In 2002, he got the CS
2002 prize for Signal and Image Processing. In 2006, he got the
