Dr. Gérard Favier received engineering diploma degrees from the École Nationale Supérieure de Chronométrie et Micromécanique (ENSCM), Besançon, and the École Nationale Supérieure de l’Aéronautique et de l’Espace (ENSAE), Toulouse, in 1973 and 1974, respectively, and Dr.-Ing. (PhD) and State Doctorate degrees from the University of Nice Sophia Antipolis, France, in 1977 and 1981, respectively. He is a coauthor or author of more than 300 papers in international scientific conferences and journals and 20 books or book chapters, the latest of which is titled "Matrix and tensor decompositions in signal processing", published by Wiley, in 2021. In 1976, he joined the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS). He is currently an emeritus research director of CNRS at the I3S Laboratory, Sophia Antipolis, France. From 1995 to 1999, he was the Director of the I3S Laboratory. His research interests include the study of new tensor models and the development of tensor approaches for MIMO wireless communication systems, as well as for the modeling and identification of nonlinear systems.

Danilo S. Rocha was born in Fortaleza, Brazil, in 1986. He received his bachelor's degree in physics from the Federal University of Ceará (UFC), Brazil, in 2008, and his Ph.D. in teleinformatics engineering from UFC in 2019. From May 2017 to April 2018, he completed a doctoral mobility internship at the I3S Laboratory, Côte d'Azur University, France. Currently, in 2024, he is a visiting professor at the same laboratory, conducting research activities within the framework of the CAPES-COFECUB Program. He is a professor at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Ceará (IFCE), where he acts as a permanent member of the Postgraduate Program in Telecommunications Engineering and conducts research at the Photonics Laboratory. His research interests include signal processing and data science, with applications in tensor models and decompositions, communication systems, including MIMO cooperative communications, and optical devices and networks.
