He received his Ph.D. in 1982 under the supervision of Marc Yor. He is currently professor at the University of Paris-Sud in Orsay andis a senior member of the Institut universitaire de France.

He was awarded the Loève Prize in 1997 and the Fermat Prize in 2005.He was the thesis advisor of Wendelin Werner.
