Profile

I graduated from the Ecole Supérieure d'Electricite, Paris, France in 1973 and received a MS degree in Electrical Engineering from MIT in 1974. After a short period in industry with Thomson-CSF I joined IRISA in 1976. Since 1983 I am a professor at the Universite de Rennes 1. My research interests shifted from identification and adaptive control, in which I obtained my these d'etat, towards signal processing.

Research Activities

My current research interests are in array processing, sparse representations, joint detection and estimation schemes and robust detection.

I am working on sparse representations for more than ten years though this domain has only been identified as such recently. At the beginning I considered it as a new and say computer-intensive way to solve identification or estimation problems, i.e., I always assumed that there exists indeed an exact sparse underlying representation and that the aim was to recover it.

All this started when I realized that the Pisarenko method which is actually based on a theorem by Caratheodory on the trigonometric moment problem (compute the minimal eigenvector of a covariance matrix, root the polynomial associated with this vector, the information lies in the roots that are on the unit circle, ..) can indeed be seen as what is now known as 'basis pursuit': \min_x subject to Ax=b, x >=0.

Teaching

I am mainly given lectures in the following domains: linear algebra, optimization, dynamical systems, spectral estimation, modeling and adaptive filtering.
