Ali Mohammad Djafari

Ali Mohammad-Djafari was born in Iran. He received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering from Tehran Polytechnic, Tehran, Iran, in 1975, the M.S. degree from Ecole Supérieure d'Electricité, Supélec, Gif-sur-Yvette, France, in 1977, and the "Docteur-Ingénieur" (Ph.D.) degree and "Doctorat d'Etat" in Physics, from Université Paris-Sud (UPS), Orsay, France, respectively, in 1981 and 1987. He was an Associate Professor at UPS for two years (1981–1983). Since 1984, he has a permanent position at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) and works at Laboratoire des Signaux et Systémes (L2S) at Supélec. From 1998 to 2002, he has been at the head of Signal and Image Processing Division at this laboratory. Presently, he is Directeur de Recherche and his main scientific interests are in developing new probabilistic methods based on information theory, maximum entropy, and the Bayesian statistical inference approaches for inverse problems in general, and more specifically signal and image reconstruction and restoration. His recent research projects are related to blind sources separation (BSS), data and image fusion, superresolution, X-ray computed tomography, and microwave imaging. The main application domain of his interests is computed tomography (X-rays, PET, SPECT, MRI, microwave, ultrasound, and Eddy current imaging) either for medical imaging or for nondestructive testing (NDT) in industry. His recent research interests are blind source separation (BSS) for multivariate signals (sattelite images, hyperspectral images) and data fusion in computed tomography.
