Michel was born in Lyon. He studied from 1989 to 1993 at the École normale supérieure de Cachan, and then moved to the University of Paris-Sud, where he earned a doctorate in 1995 under the supervision of Étienne Fouvry and then a habilitation in 1998.[1][2] He was a professor at the University of Montpellier from 1998 to 2008, when he moved to EPFL.[1]
