Frédéric Cohen Tenoudji is Emeritus Professor at Pierre and Marie Curie University in Paris. His research field is non-destructive evaluation by ultrasonics, defect characterization, and linear and non-linear sound propagation in heterogeneous materials with applications to civil engineering: concrete cure monitoring, materials structural integrity. He develops ultrasound instrumentation for NDE with graphic user interface and embedded signal processing.


Cohen Tenoudji teaches signal processing, sensors, ultrasonics, and object-oriented programming. From 1985-86 he was Member of the Technical Staff at the Science Center of Rockwell International, NDE department, in Thousand Oaks, California.
