Short biography

Frédéric Courbin obtained his PhD between ESO-Garching and the University of Liège in Belgium, both on strong gravitational lensing and image deconvolution. He then went to Chile for a postdoctoral fellowship at PUC and obtained a Marie Curie fellowship in Liège before taking up a senior scientist position at EPFL, where he was professor before joining ICCUB. Prof Courbin has also contributed to digital education, with MOOCs on astrophysics that attracted over 60’000 students of the years.
