Biography
 
Jean-Pierre received the M.S. degree in Mathematics in 1977, the "Doctorat de 3-eme cycle" in 1982 and the "Doctorat d'Etat" in 1987, both from INPG, Grenoble, France.
From 1980 to 1989, he worked at the GERDSM (Groupe d'Etudes et de Recherche en Détection Sous-Marines), a laboratory of the DCN (Direction des Constructions Navales), mainly on array processing. In this area, he conduced both theoretical and practical researches. In particular, he participated to the pratical evaluation of high resolution methods on real data (towed arrays).
Since 1989, he had been with IRISA / CNRS, where he was a CNRS (National Center for Scientific Research) "Directeur de recherche". At that time, his interests moved towards other topics like system analysis, detection, data association and operations research.  
He was awarded Automatica Outstanding reviewer in 2005 and received two prestigious prizes: the Eurasip Signal Processing Best Paper Award (1993) and the IEEE Barry Carlton Award (2008). He was also member of various societies of IEEE.
