Allow me to introduce myself...


I am full professor at GRENOBLE-INP (Ense3) and researcher at GIPSA-lab (Control System Department). My research interest is related to modelling and robust control of mechatronic systems (e.g. Polytopic system modeling, Linear Parameter-Varying systems, Switching control and Invariant-Set Theory for Fault-Tolerant Control and Robust Disturbance Estimation/Rejection), mostly in the following applications: Automotive vehicle dynamics, Aerial vehicle dynamics, Wind turbines control,  Physiologic-aware electric bikes and Anti-vibration systems. I have obtained the Accreditation to Supervise Research (HDR) from the Université Grenoble Alpes, France, in July 2013 (See the slides of the HDR defense).

I had received the French "Prime d'Excellence Scientifique" since October 2011, and the Jean-Pierre Noblanc award for excellence 2008 in the context of European BLAZE project.

I has organized a Ph.D. Summer School on Positive invariance as a set-theoretic method for fault diagnosis and fault tolerant control, in September 2015, in collaboration with Sorin Olaru (Centrale-Supelec) and Didier Theilliol (CRAN).

The invited speakers were:
F. Blanchini (Italy); J. De Dona (Australia); J.J. Martinez (Fr); S. Olaru (Fr); V. Puig (Spain); V. Reppa(Fr); O. Sename (Fr); F. Stoican (Romania); M. Seron (Australia); D. Theilliol (Fr).
