Biography

Crochemore earned his doctorate (PhD) in 1978 and his Doctorat d'état (DSc) in 1983 from the University of Rouen. He was a professor at Paris 13 University in 1985–1989, and moved to a professorship at Paris Diderot University in 1989. In 2002–2007, Crochemore was a senior research fellow at King's College London, where he is a professor since 2007. Since 2007, he is also a professor emeritus at the University of Marne-la-Vallée.

Crochemore holds an honorary doctorate (2014) from the University of Helsinki.[4] A festschrift in his honour was published in 2009 as a special issue of Theoretical Computer Science.[5]

Research contributions

Crochemore published over 100 journal papers on string algorithms. He in particular introduced new algorithms for pattern matching,[6] string indexing[7] and text compression.[8] His work received a significant number of academic citations.

Crochemore has co-authored three well-known scientific monographs on the design of algorithms for string processing: "Text Algorithms" (1994; jointly with Wojciech Rytter),[9] "Jewels of Stringology" (2002, jointly with Wojciech Rytter),[10] and "Algorithms on Strings" (2007, jointly with Christophe Hancart and Thierry Lecroq).[11]
