Senior Fellow Researcher Center for Mathematical Morphology MINES Paris, PSL Research University Contact jesus.angulo-at-minesparis.psl.eu Phone: +33 01.64.69.47.07 Location: 35 Rue Saint-Honoré 77300 Fontainebleau CEDEX France Getting there

Biography

I was born in Cuenca, Spain, in 1975.

I received a degree in Telecommunications Engineering from the Polytechnical University of Valencia, Spain, in 1999, with a Master Thesis on Signal, Image and Video Processing. I obtained my PhD on Mathematical Morphology and Nonlinear Image Processing in 2003 from the Ecole des Mines de Paris (France) under the guidance of Prof. Jean Serra. I got my Habilitation degree (French HDR) on Applied Mathematics and Computer Sciences, from the Université Paris-Est in 2012.

I am currently senior research scientist (Directeur de Recherche) at the Center for Mathematical Morphology.

I had participated in several EU and French projects, including the coordination and partner principal investigator in some of them. I had been involved on direct collaboration projects with industrial companies (e.g., Thales, ArcelorMittal)

I had contributed to more than 50 journal papers, 120 international conferences and 1 patent.

Appointments and responsibilities

• I am the head of the Department of Mathematics and Systems at MINES ParisTech, PSL Université Paris

• I am in charge of the Ph.D. studies on “Mathematical morphology” specialization; member of the Council of the Doctoral school ISMME (Ingénierie des Systèmes, Matériaux, Mécanique, Énergétique)

• I am member of the Steering Committee of ISMM (International Symposium on Mathematical Morphology)

Research Interests

My research interests are in the areas of

• Mathematical morphology: filtering; segmentation; shape and texture analysis; stochastic, geometric and PDE approaches; space-time morphological operators; theory of metric Riemannian and ultrametric morphological operators.

• Max-plus and max-min mathematics.

• Interaction between neural networks, deep learning and mathematical morphology.

• Interaction between machine learning and structured data/image processing: anomaly detection, explainable AI.

• Non-conventional imaging: ranging from hyperspectral images to images with values in non-Euclidean spaces, such as the sphere or the cone of symmetric positive-definite matrices or the probability simplex.

• Application to the development of theoretically-sound and high-performance algorithms and software in the fields of Biomedicine/Biotechnology, Remote Sensing and Radar, Material Science and Industrial Vision.
