Having joined the CNRS in 1985, he pursued his research at CERN, working on the CHARM and then the DELPHI experiments. He was head of the DELPHI team at the Laboratoire de physique nucléaire et hautes énergies (LPNHE, CNRS and Sorbonne University) before dedicating part of his work to observational cosmology. He spent two years at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, where he was involved in the birth of the Supernova Cosmology Project (SCP). After returning to France, he established a French participation in the SCP and launched several international projects on supernovae. He subsequently involved French teams in the building of the Legacy Survey of Space and Time. From 2009 to 2014, he directed the LPNHE. Prior to being head of the French National Institute of Nuclear and Particle Physics (IN2P3), from 2016 to 2023, he was IN2P3 deputy scientific director for "Astroparticles and Neutrinos".
