TEACHING ACTIVITIES
Since 2007: head of the Master’s degree in Acoustics at Aix-Marseille University and Ecole Centrale Marseille (http://www.master-acoustique.lma.cnrs-mrs.fr/).
From 1989 until now: classes at the graduate level in audio signal processing, time-frequency representations and general acoustics at the Aix-Marseille University, Toulon-Var University, Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris 6) University, Ecole Centrale Marseille, ISEN Toulon.
ORGANISATION OF SCIENTIFIC MEETINGS
In 2003, I initiated the cycle of CMMR conferences – Computer Music Multidisciplinary Research – in collaboration with researchers at the Aalborg University, Denmark. Since then, I have headed the steering committee and have been strongly involved in the past 12 organizing committees (http://cmmr2016.ime.usp.br/cmmr-history/) as a general chair, program or paper chair.
I also regularly serve as a member of technical program committees in other conferences such as ArtsIT, ICMC, INTETAIN, SMC.
INSTITUTIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES (focusing on the latest ones)
– 1999 until now: Science manager for 31 industrial centers (among them: Peugeot-Citroën Automobiles, Orange labs, Centre National de la Cinématographie (CNC), GENESIS SA, DIGILOG SA, Aviation Civile, Centre Technique du Bois et de l’Ameublement (CTBA), …).
– 2010 until now: Member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Acoustical Research Institute-ARI- (Vienna, Austria). Appointed by the Austrian Academy of Sciences.
– 2008 until now: Member of the Commission of Specialists of « Computer science, Control and Signal processing » at the Aix-Marseille University.
– 2008 until now: head of the Master’s degree in Acoustics (Aix-Marseille University and Ecole Centrale Marseille).
– 2015: Member of the Specialist Commission (full professor promotion) at Telecom ParisTech.
– 2014: Project leader for the creation ex nihilo of the interdisciplinary laboratory PRISM: “Perception, Representation, Image, Sound, Music”. The lab will officially open in January 2017.
– 2008: Task officer for the revision of the Master’s degree program in Acoustics (Aix-Marseille University and Ecole Centrale Marseille).
– 2000: I founded and headed (until 2012) the “Modeling, Synthesis and Control of Sounds and Musical Signals” research group (now the “audio group”) at the CNRS-LMA laboratory (18 scientists on average).
– 1985-1989: Deputy director of the RCP (Cooperative research program) « Wavelets ». This very first cluster focusing on wavelet transforms played a key role in the development of the wavelet theory.
– Numerous missions (expertise works for ANR, OSEO, RIAM, Ville de Paris, Digiteo-DigiCosme, CNC, …, member of laboratory evaluation committees mandated by the AERES, corresponding scientist for national and international cooperations, member of the laboratory council of the LMA for 8 years, …).
– Consultancy missions: Science & Tec (regular since 1991), DIGILOG SA, TOTAL Inc., Saint-Gobain Inc., SECAV SA, Eurocopter Inc.
MAJOR THEMATIC TURNING POINTS
– 2001-2002: One year at the University of Berkeley (dep. CNMAT, Prof D. Wessel) and Stanford University (dep. CCRMA, Prof. J.O. Smith). This stay constituted a turning point in my career towards interdisciplinary research associating human perception and digital audio processing.
– 1990-1991: One year at Stanford University (dep. CCRMA, Prof. J. Chowning). This stay was intended to evaluate the new possibilities offered by wavelet transform in audio signal processing as compared with earlier procedures and to establish relationships between audio signal processing and physical models.
