==Education and career==
Lucien Birgé studied from 1970 to 1974 at the [[École normale supérieure|École Normale Supérieure]] in [[Paris]]. He then became an assistant at the [[Pierre and Marie Curie University]] (Paris 6). In 1980 he received his doctorate from the [[Paris Diderot University]] (Paris 7). The following year he became a professor at the [[Paris Nanterre University]]. Since 1990 he has been a professor at the University of Pierre and Marie Curie.
Birgé works in the field of mathematical statistics. His research deals with parametric and nonparametric statistics, model selection, adaptation, approximation,<ref></ref> "dimension and metric entropy",<ref name=Brouwerprijs/> and "asymptotic optimality of estimators in infinite-dimensional spaces".<ref name=Notices/>
In 2005 he received the [[Brouwer Medal]] of the [[Koninklijk Wiskundig Genootschap]] for the ''diepte, originaliteit en elegantie van zijn werk op het gebied van de mathematische statistiek'' (depth, originality and elegance of his work in the field of mathematical statistics).<ref name=Brouwerprijs>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> He is also an Honored Fellow of [[Institute of Mathematical Statistics]].<ref></ref> In 2012 Birgé received the [[Sophie Germain Prize]].
