It looks from other comments that CVs are slightly different than resumes (I really had no idea, I just thought "resume" was a wording preference in the US), but I'll question your mention of your high school and "classes prépa"… M.Sc. from ENS Lyon >>> whatever high school/prep school you went to. I have recently revamped my resume with one goal of removing unnecessary or irrelevant information. E.g. I removed my street address (why would companies need that before a job offer? Not sure, but it's a custom). Granted I then went overboard design-wise and probably added a lot of graphically irrelevant things. :) That being said, yours looks great.

For an old-fashioned academic CV, you have to include every publication, leaving nothing out. (So, you can pay a price for that brief dabbling in fuzzy logic -- it hangs around forever.) By mid-career, the CV can run to many pages. Once you reach that point, you have to also maintain a short version (maybe 2-3 pages), and a short-short version (1 page), usually for proposal submissions, brief bios, etc.

  The school (i.e. ENS Lyon), honestly I understand that it's there, but the high school and prep school? Probably not necessary. (even if it's Louis Legrand… :) ) To be fair with France, I would be surprised if Stanford grads don't mention it on their resumes even years after their graduated. And to be fair with French schools, it seems to me that they're overall less elitists than US colleges, especially by the simple fact that they don't cost $20-50k a year. (thinking of colleges like Stanford, not State universities) The job market after graduation is certainly elitist in the sense that grads from the better schools will often be preferred just because of their diploma, but the schools themselves are for the most part open to anybody who can rank well at the exams. (disclosure: I'm from one of these "elite schools", but I certainly don't get to "enjoy" it as much because I live in the US. Meaning I doubt employers have any idea what school this is)
