Besides his works on mathematics and fluid mechanics, he directed the Institut de mécanique des fluides de Lille (ONERA Lille) and taught fluid dynamics and information theory at École centrale de Lille from 1930 to 1969.

He devised the Kampé de Fériet functions, which further generalize the generalized hypergeometric functions.
