His research interests are on nonlinear physics, statistical physics, and chemical physics.
Gaspard studied physics at the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB) from 1978 to 1982, and completed his doctorate in physics in 1987, directed by Grégoire Nicolis. After postdoctoral studies at the University of Chicago he became a researcher with the National Fund for Scientific Research in 1989.
