Short Biography

Gwenaël Doërr received a French Engineering degree in Telecommunications Systems from the Telecom SudParis (ex Institut National des Télécommunications), Evry, France, in September 2001. At the same time, he also got an M.Sc. on Image Processing from the Université de Nice Sophia-Antipolis (UNSA), Sophia-Antipolis, France.

During spring/summer 2001, he stayed at NEC Labs, Princeton, NJ, USA, to do his M.Sc. project. He co-invented with Matt Miller and Ingemar Cox a novel implementation of digital watermarking as communications with side information, referred to as ‘dirty paper trellis codes’. This work has received the French Louis Leprince Ringuet Award and has been selected for evaluation during the first Break Our Watermarking System (BOWS) contest, which is part of the European Network of Excellence E-Crypt.

In November 2001, he joined Professor Dugelay's research team at Institut Eurécom, Sophia-Antipolis, France, to do a Ph.D. on video watermarking. During his thesis, he explored the vulnerability of existing video watermarking systems against statistical attacks, such as for instance multi-frames collusion attacks, and highlighted the need for signal coherent watermarking. In particular, he demonstrated that performances can be significantly improved by making the embedded watermark follow the apparent motion of the scene. During his thesis, he has been involved in the European project Certimark and the European Network of Excellence E-Crypt.

After successfully defending his thesis in June 2005, he moved to the United Kingdom to join the Computer Science Department of University College London (UCL), London, UK as a Lecturer on Digital Rights Managements for their M.Sc. on Information Security. During his stay there, he continued his research activities on digital watermarking and further enlarged his area of expertise to neighbouring domain of multimedia security e.g. steganography and steganalysis, digital rights management, multimedia forensics, etc. In Spring 2008, he visited HP Labs in Palo-Alto, CA, USA to contribute to the DRM interoperability effort of the Coral Consortium.

In January 2010, he moved back to France to join the Security & Content Protection Labs of Technicolor (ex Thomson), Cesson-Sévigné, France, as a Senior Research Engineer on Multimedia Security. He is a Distinguished Member of Technicolor's Fellow Network, a group of scientific and technical experts who contribute to technology related strategic decision and leverage Technicolor scientific and technical excellence.
