Jean-Luc Dugelay

Professor Jean-Luc Dugelay is a faculty member at EURECOM's Digital Security Department, specializing in facial image processing, image forensics, and biometrics. He holds a PhD in Image Processing from the University of Rennes (1992) and is a Fellow of IEEE (2012) and IAPR (2018). His research focuses on security applications like deepfake detection, privacy protection, and multi-spectral imaging. He leads projects on UAV surveillance, cross-spectrum face recognition, and deepfake countermeasures.

Education: PhD in Image Processing (1992, University of Rennes), HDR (2013, University of Nice). Notable projects include HEIMDALL (deepfake detection), CONVERGE (transport security), and ImVerif (image forensics). His work on biometric systems and digital watermarking has been recognized with awards like the SEE Blondel Medal (2010).

Research interests span facial analysis, video surveillance, and thermal imaging. He has advised students on topics like age estimation via GANs and cross-spectrum face recognition. Key publications include work on deepfake detection (IPAS 2025), thermal-to-visible face conversion, and event-based vision systems.
