Julien Bonnel (PI)
My activity is interdisciplinary and collaborative. My lab is open to interns, students and post-docs with various interests, covering signal processing, acoustics, oceanography and marine biology. My personal playground is in between signal processing and ocean acoustics. However, I do enjoy working with students and post-doc that have diverse backgrounds.
If you are interested in joining the lab, go to opportunities.
Below is a list of PhD students and post-docs that are -or have been- working with me.
