Radu Patrice Horaud (PhD’81) has hold a position of director of research at INRIA Grenoble, France, 1998-2022. Currently he is a member of the RobotLearn team and since October 1st, 2022 he is emeritus. In the past, he was a post-doctoral fellow with the Artificial Intelligence Center of SRI International, Menlo Park CA (1982-1984), and a research scientist with CNRS Grenoble, France (1984-1998). He was the founder and director of the Perception team (2007-2021). Radu’s research interests cover computational vision, audio signal processing, audio-visual scene analysis, machine learning, and robotics. He is the author of over 200 scientific publications. Radu pioneered work in computer vision using range data (or depth images) and developed a number of principles and methods at the cross-roads of computer vision and robotics. In 2006, he started to develop audio-visual fusion and recognition techniques in conjunction with human-robot interaction. The European Research Council awarded Radu twice: in 2013 (ERC Advanced Grant VHIA, 2014-2019) and in 2017 (ERC Proof of Concept Grant VHIALab, 2018-2019).
Radu, formerly Horodniceanu, was born in Bucharest, Romania, arrived in France in 1972 at the age of 18, and became a citizen of France in 1975. Radu is married with Florence Forbes and he is the father of Adriane, Mathias, Fabien and Thomas.
On November 10th, 2022, collaborators, former PhD students and friends gathered for my retirement. More information here.
