He taught in the 1950s at the University of Montpellier and the University of Bordeaux, and later at the Pierre and Marie Curie University (Jussieu). Together with Pierre Lelong and Henri Skoda he held an Analysis seminar in Paris.

Dolbeault cohomology is named after him, and so is the Dolbeault theorem.
