Biography Jean-Luc Starck is Senior Scientist at the Institute of Research into the Fundamental Laws of the Universe, CEA-Saclay, France. Jean-Luc Starck has a Ph.D from Nice Observatory and an Habilitation from University Paris XI. He was a visitor at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in 1993, at UCLA in 2004 and at Stanford’s Department of Statistics  in 2000 and 2005.  Since 1994, he has been a tenured Researcher at CEA-Saclay, Institute of Research into the Fundamental Laws of the Universe. His research interests include cosmology, especially cosmic microwave background and weak lensing data, and statistical methods such as wavelets and other sparse representations of data. He is leader of the CosmoStat laboratory at CEA and he is involved in Euclid ESA mission. He has published over 200 refereed papers in astrophysics, cosmology, signal processing and applied mathematics, and he is also author of three books entitled Image Processing and Data Analysis: the Multiscale Approach(Cambridge University Press, 1998), Astronomical Image and Data Analysis (Springer, 2nd edition, 2006) and Sparse Image and Signal Processing: Wavelets, Curvelets, Morphological Diversity (Cambridge University Press, 2010).


Roles:

  • Head of the CosmoStat laboraratory at CEA/Saclay.
  • Leader of the level 3 Organization Unit in the Euclid Consortium (a unit regrouping 240 researchers dedicated to design the algorithms that will be used  to deliver  ESA Euclid products such as power spectra, mass maps, etc.
  • Leader of the OULE3-Weak Lensing Work Package in the Euclid Consortium.
  • Associate editor of the SIAM Journal on Imaging Sciences (SIIMS).
