Prof. Pierre Devijver graduated in Telecommunications Engineering
>from the Royal Military Academy of Brussels in 1962.
He left the Belgian army to join the Philips Research Laboratory
in Brussels where he assumed the responsibility for research in
pattern recognition with applications to speech and image
interpretation.
He received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Paris VI in 1977
under
the supervision of Prof. Jean Claude Simon. In 1989 he moved to Brest in
France where he became the Scientific Director at the Ecole Nationale
Supérieure des Télécommunications (ENST).
Prof. Devijver gained international recognition for his contributions
to statistical approaches of pattern classification. He was one of the f
ounding members of IAPR (International Association for Pattern
Recognition).
He served in the capacity of IAPR Secretary, 1st Vice-President and he
became IAPR President in 1986 for a period of two years.
Prof. Pierre Devijver died in Brest on 28 December 1996.
