A one-day workshop on Wavelets, Multifractals, Multiscale Analysis, Internet Traffic Monitoring, Neuroscience, Arts and more
It is our great pleasure to invite you to a one-day workshop in honour of the scientific work of Patrice Abry, to be held at ENS de Lyon (campus Monod, salle Condorcet) on November 20, 2026.
This workshop will celebrate over thirty years of research by Patrice Abry and his collaborators and students, and the broad impact this work has had on several different scientific communities, both in signal and image processing and through its many applications. With more than 200 papers published in leading journals and conferences, Patrice Abry has made important contributions to many fields such as wavelet and multiscale analysis, self-similarity and long-range dependence, fractal and multifractal analysis, while contributing at large to the domain of statistical signal processing. His work on both the theory and practice of multiscale statistical signal and image analysis has led to many real-world applications, ranging from Internet traffic and turbulence in physics to financial time series, neuroscience, health (including perinatal monitoring and epidemic surveillance), climate extremes, and the scientific investigation of artworks.
This scientific and friendly day will be an opportunity to hear scientific talks by several renowned researchers who have crossed paths with Patrice Abry along his scientific trajectory.
Schedule to come : Begin at 9:30 am (and welcome with coffee from 9am); end expected at 5:30 pm
A tentative list of speakers :
- Philippe Ciuciu (CEA Neurospin, équipe CEA-Inria MIND, DataIA Institute, Paris-Saclay)
- Gustavo Didier (Mathematics Department, Tulane University, New Orleans, LA, USA)
- Patrick Flandrin (Académie des Sciences, Paris & LP ENSL)
- Sara Franceschelli (IHRIM, ENS de Lyon et IXXI, Lyon)
- Kensuke Fukuda (National Institute of Informatics, Japan)
- Stéphane Jaffard (LAMA, Département de Mathématiques, UPEC, Créteil)
