Martial Mermillod is a Full Professor at Grenoble Alpes University, directing the Laboratoire de Psychologie et NeuroCognition (LPNC, CNRS UMR 5105) since 2021. His academic career spans institutions like Clermont-Ferrand 2 and Liège University, with a focus on Neural Computation, Psychology, and Cognitive Neuroscience. As a holder of MIAI 3IA Chairs (2019-2023, 2023-2025) and CNRS delegations, he bridges AI and human cognition.
- PhD in Cognitive Sciences (University of Liège, 2004)
- Post-doctoral research at LPNC (2004-2005, Fyssen Foundation)
- Master's DEA (University of Savoie, 2000)
His research explores bio-inspired AI, particularly lifelong learning in neural networks, the Predictive Brain Hypothesis (top-down cognitive modulation), and the role of spatial frequencies in threat detection. He has developed models for robust AI against adversarial attacks, inspired by human brain mechanisms.
Key contributions include:
- 15+ peer-reviewed articles (2015-2023) on AI, emotion recognition, and cognitive neuroscience
- Grants from MIAI 3IA, CEA, ANR, and NVIDIA
- Leadership in national and international projects (MIT MISTI, Franco-German AI4HP)
He leads the Vision & Emotion team at LPNC and has held administrative roles including UGA Council member and co-founder of the Institut Carnot Cognition steering committee.
