RESEARCH:

 I am an applied statistician and most of the research problems I deal with, have their origin in real data problems.  I started working in an institute of research in agronomy as a young student in 1972 and in 1973, I got a position of lecturer then of associate professor at the university. The first years, I kept on doing my research in the agronomy field. After my return from Canada, I defended my Ph D thesis. Then for many years (1985-1995), I used to work with researchers in speech processing and I developed algorithms for speech segments recognition. For that, I used mainly principal component analysis, decision trees, discriminant analysis  and classification.
More recently, I started working on text mining : how to process the information which is contained in texts, how to perform information retrieval in bibliographical bases or on the web?  I keep on using factorial analysis mainly factorial correspondence analysis with some success.  In my research project, we work on efficient exploitation of multimedia documents  that is exploration , indexing and access  to very large databases.
I organized a school on databases and statistics for researchers and coorganized an international conference on textual data analysis.
I am also consultant and have some contracts in applied statistics with different clients : medical doctors,  computer science companies …

TEACHING

 I mainly teach statistics and data analysis but  I have a double competency in mathematics and computer science, and therefore  it happens that I also teach applied mathematics or programming languages.  
 
Undergraduate students :
First year of university (students in physics and mathematics) : symbolic computation, Mathematica (30h)
Second year of university (student in management and computer sciences) :
·  Mathematics : analysis, linear algebra, (44hours)
·  Probability and statistics , applications with SAS  ( 36h)
 
Graduate students :
·  In mathematics :  I teach data analysis : principal component analysis, correspondence analysis, multiple correspondence analysis, discriminant analysis, segmentation, classification and clustering (40hours). We use the software SPAD for the applications
·  In electronics, I teach experimental designs (12 hours) , statistical process control (20 hours) and reliability theory (12hours)
 
Permanent education  :
·  For engineers : statistics and data analysis, operational research (40 hours)
·  For researchers and Ph D students : data mining (6 hours)
·  For mathematics (secondary school)  teachers : introduction to statistics (multiple sessions)
 
Miscellaneous :
·  Classification course in Craiova, Romania (in french)  in 1992- 6-18 july,  Tempus program
·  Idams software course in Abuja Nigeria (in english) in 2000,16-30 september, and in 2001, 7-17 july
·  Exploratory data analysis courses in   Londrina, Brasil, 1999 6-14 may   and in Bogota, Colombia  1999 26-30 july (both in Spanish)
 
Distance learning projects:
1. With the CNED (centre national d’enseignement à distance), realisation of a basic statistics course devoted to people working in quality control.
2. Course of statistics on line using IDAMS software, ITAG,  Unesco, Paris,
3 Descriptive statistics for  the Agricultural office of Morbihan (Chambre d'Agriculture du Morbihan)
4. Course of data mining for the project e-miage.
