Monique Thonnat

Monique Thonnat received in 1982 her Ph.D. degree in optics and signal processing from University of Marseille III. Her Ph.D. was prepared in the Spatial Astronomical Laboratory of CNRS. In 1983, she joined INRIA in Sophia Antipolis as full-time Research Scientist. She became a Senior Scientist in 1991 and in 1995, she created the ORION Project, a multidisciplinary research team at the frontier of computer vision, knowledge-based systems, and software engineering. She is the author or coauthor of more than 100 scientific papers published in international journals or conferences. During 3 years (from 1979 to 1982), she worked on image processing techniques for astronomy. Then, in 1983, she worked on pattern recognition and artificial intelligence techniques for complex object recognition and on computer vision for the automatic interpretation of 3D stereo data. Her more recent research activities involve the conception of new techniques for the reuse of programs (or program supervision) and on image understanding techniques for the interpretation of video sequences. She has supervised 20 Ph.D. theses (14 completed, 6 ongoing). She is directly involved in the application of her research in the industrial domain; in particular, in the framework of 6 European projects.
