I received my PhD on talking-face biometric authentication from Telecom ParisTech (France) in 2007.
In 2008, I joined Dublin City University (Ireland) to work on video summarization techniques applied to user-generated content.
I am currently on leave from CNRS where I have been a permanent researcher since 2008, working almost exclusively on speaker diarization and related tasks. I am proud to be known as “the guy behind pyannote”
Since March 2025, I am Chief Science Officer and co-founder at pyannoteAI.
