It is with deep sadness that we learned, on Friday, May 15, 2026, of the passing of our colleague and friend Emmanuel Vincent, Inria Research Director at the Inria Center at the University of Lorraine and a member of the MULTISPEECH project team (Inria, University of Lorraine, CNRS Centre-Est, Loria).
A pioneer in audio source separation, speech enhancement, and robust speech recognition, his work has had a profound impact on the field of speech and audio processing.
A graduate of the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, Emmanuel Vincent completed his Ph.D. at IRCAM and a postdoctoral fellowship at Queen Mary University of London before joining Inria in 2006 at the Rennes Center.
He then continued his career at the Inria Nancy-Grand Est Center starting in 2013, where he became a Research Director in 2016, Deputy Scientific Director in 2017, and Scientific Director in 2022. Deeply committed to collective research and innovation initiatives, Emmanuel co-founded the startup Nijta in 2022 and took on the coordination of the ENACT Grand Est AI Cluster upon its launch in 2024, actively contributing to the development of a strong regional and European vision centered on sovereign, ethical artificial intelligence that serves society.
Our deepest sympathies go out to his family, loved ones, and colleagues during this difficult time.
