Gerald joined MathWorks in 2017 as an application engineer focusing on Signal Processing, Wireless and Radar applications.
He obtained a master’s degree in Electrical Engineering from the University Pierre & Marie Curie (Paris, France) in 1996 and started his career in the Test & Measurement Industry (National Instruments) before joining Texas Instruments where he focused on wireless semiconductor’s characterization.
Before joining MathWorks, Gerald spent 7 years at DGA, an expertise center of the French Ministry of Defense and occupied positions in electronic warfare and communications systems.
Greatly interested in education, Gerald animates Software-Defined Radio classes and hands-on sessions in several universities to share his passion about radio and digital communications.
