Jacques Froment received the Ph.D. degree in sciences from Paris Dauphine University, France, in 1990. During the academic year 1990-1991, he was an associate research scientist at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences in NYU’s computer science department. From 1991 to 2002, he was an associate professor in the department of mathematics at Paris Descartes University (now Université de Paris), France, and graduated with the post-doctoral degree "Habilitation à diriger des recherches" from this university in 2000. Since 2002 he is professor of applied mathematics at Bretagne Sud University, Vannes, France. His research interests include mathematical models in image processing and representation of meaningful information with applications to inverse and ill-posed problems such as image restoration.
