Gerard Meunier is Dipl.-Ing. in Electrical Engineering from the National Polytechnic Institute of Grenoble (INPG), France, in 1977. He received his PhD from the INPG in 1981. He joined the CNRS in 1982 in the Grenoble Electrical Engineering Laboratory (G2Elab) where he is presently CNRS Emeritus Senior Researcher. His researches are devoted to numerical modelling of electromagnetic phenomena. In the G2Elab, he was successively responsible of the "Modelling and CAD" research team from and Associate Director. In the "Université de Grenoble Alpes", he was responsible of the Power Electrical Engineering Doctoral Department, deputy head of the doctoral school EEATS (Electronics, Electrotechnics, Automation and Signal Processing) and chair of the "Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches" EEATS Comittee.
