Professional biography sketch
Some time ago,
Hervé Abdi
was born in France where he
grew up. He
received an M.S. in
Psychology from the University
of Franche-Comté (France) in 1975,
an M.S. (D.E.A.) in Economics from the University of
Clermond-Ferrand (France) in 1976,
an M.S. (D.E.A.) in Neurology from the University
Louis Pasteur in Strasbourg
(France) in 1977, and a Ph.D. in Mathematical Psychology
from the University of Aix-en-Provence (France)
in 1980.
He was an assistant professor in
the University of Franche-Comté (France) in 1979,
an associate professor in the University
of Bourgogne at Dijon (France) in 1983,
a full professor in the University
of Bourgogne at Dijon (France) in 1988.
He is currently a full professor in the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences at
the University of Texas at Dallas and an adjunct professor of
radiology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas.
He was twice a Fulbright scholar.
He has been also a visiting scientist or professor in
in the Rotman Institute (Toronto University),
in Brown University, and in
the Universities of Chuo (Japan),
Dijon (France), Geneva
(Switzerland), Nice Sophia Antipolis (France), and Paris 13 (France).
His recent work is concerned with face and person perception,
odor perception, and with computational modeling
of these processes.
He is also developing statistical techniques
to analyze the structure of
large data sets as found, e.g., in brain
imaging and
sensory evaluation
(e.g., PLS-Regression, STATIS,
DISTATIS,
discriminant correspondence
analysis, multiple factor analysis,
additive tree representations,...).
In the past decade, he has published over 80 papers
(plus 5 books and 3 edited volumes) on these topics.
He teaches or has taught classes in cognition, computational modeling,
experimental design, multivariate statistics, and
the analysis of brain imaging data.
Research interests
face processing and computational models of face processing.
neural networks.
computational and statistical models of cognitive
processes (especially memory and learning).
