Adrien Meynard

I am an assistant professor (maître de conférences) in the Department of Physics at École Normale Supérieure de Lyon, where I work on signal processing with the Information, learning, and computation team.

Research interests

Signal processing

My research focuses on methods to analyse, model and interpret signals whose properties evolve over time.

01

Time-frequency and time-scale analysis

Representations that reveal how signal structure evolves across time and frequency.

02

Nonstationary signal modelling

Methods for describing changing dynamics, including amplitude and frequency modulation.

03

Applications

Signal processing for audio, biomedical engineering, physics and engineering science.

A research example

Separating the effect of motion from a sound

For a recording of a racing car, the Doppler effect and amplitude modulation can be modelled as deformations of an underlying stationary signal. The figures shown here display the scalograms of the original recording and the estimated stationary signal.
