Philippe Ciuciu (M'02) was born in France in 1973. He graduated from the École Supérieure d'Informatique Électronique Automatique, Paris, France, in 1996. He received the DEA and Ph.D. degrees in signal processing from the Université de Paris-sud, Orsay, France, in 1996 and 2000, respectively. In November 2000, he joined the fMRI Signal Processing Group as a Postdoctoral Fellow with Service Hospitalier Frédéric Joliot (CEA, Life Science Division, Medical Research Department) in Orsay, France. Since November 2001, he has been a permanent CEA Research Scientist. In 2007, he moved to NeuroSpin, an ultrahigh magnetic field center in the LNAO lab. Currently, he is Principal Investigator of the Neurodynamics Program in collaboration with A. Kleinschmidt (DR INSERM) at the Cognitive Neuroimaging Unit (INSERM/ CEA U562). His research is focused on the application of statistical methods (e.g., Bayesian inference, model selection), stochastic agorithms (MCMC), and wavelet-based regularized approaches to functional brain imaging (fMRI) and to parallel MRI reconstruction.
