I received his engineering and PhD degrees in microelectronics from the Université catholique de Louvain, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium in 1981 and 1987, respectively. From 1987 to 1990, I was with Image Recognition Integrated Systems (I.R.I.S.), a new company specialised in optical character recognition and automatic document processing. I was co-founder and Vice-President of I.R.I.S. In October 1990, I came back to the UCL Microelectronics Laboratory. I'm presently full Professor of Electronics at UCL. From 2003 to 2008, I was the Dean of the Louvain School of Engineering.
