Biodata

Dr. Azeddine BEGHDADI is Professor at the University of Paris 13 (Institut Galilée) and a researcher at L2TI laboratory where he does all his research in Image and video Processing. He started his undergraduate studies at ENSEP and Physics Institue at University Es-Senia Oran. After completing the six first semesters (S1-S6 credits), he came to Paris to complete his graduate studies at ENSTelecom Paris and University Paris 11 (Orsay). He received Maitrise in Physics and Diplôme d'Etudes Approfondies in Optics and Signal Processing from University Orsay-Paris XI (Equivalent: Masters of Sciences) in June 1982 and June 1983 respectively and the PhD in Physics (Specialism : Optics and Signal Processing) from University Paris 6 in June 1986. Dr. Beghdadi worked at different places including the "Groupe d'Analyse d'Images Biomédicales" (CNAM Paris) and "Laboratoire d'Optique des Solides" (University of Paris 6). From 1987 to 1989, he has been a "Assistant Associé" (Assistant Professor) at University Paris 13. During the period 1987-1998, he was with LPMTM CNRS Laboratory working on Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) materials image analysis. He published over than 160 international refereed scientific papers.

He is a funding member of the L2TI laboratory. His research interests include image quality enhancement and assessment, compression, bio-inspired models for image analysis and physics-based image analysis. He supervised more than 20 thesis and has conducted numerous industrial and academics projects. Dr. Beghdadi has served as conference chair of ISSPA 2003, technical chair of ISSPA 2005, Track chair of ISSPA 2007 and program co-chair of the first international workshop on Visual Information Processing and Analysis. He also served as session organizer and a member of the organizing and technical committees for many IEEE conferences. Dr Beghdadi is a Senior member of IEEE.
