Xavier Lurton was born in Bordeaux, France, in 1955. He received the Ph.D. degree in applied acoustics from the Université du Maine, Le Mans, France, in 1979.
He worked from 1981 to 1989 with Thomson-Sintra ASM, mainly specializing in the field of underwater sound propagation modeling for naval applications. In 1989, he joined IFREMER, the French oceanology research agency. After working on various acoustical oceanography applications (ocean tomography, telemetry, fisheries sonar) and managing the IFREMER acoustics laboratory for five years, he is now in charge of a research program on seafloor characterization using multibeam echosounders, his current interests being both in the physics of seabed backscattering and in sonar signal processing.
