Education & Ph.D Training

Grenoble Summer schools

• Modelling, Prediction and Control of Traffic Systems (2016).
• Advanced Vehicle Control (2002), 135 participants.
• Modeling and Control of Electrical Drivers (1999) (2 Volumes), with  60 participants (Hermes: Vol.1, and Vol.2.)
• Robot Control Theory (1992), 115 participants (resulting in a book published by Springer. ( Book sample )

Ph.D. Supervision

I have suppervised several Ph. D. students (see list below), Post-docs, and Master’s degree students. More than half of the Ph.Ds have joined academic circles (i.e. France, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Venezuela, France), among which some of them are now associated professors at the University of Grenoble (N. Fixot’94, H. Khennouf’96, E. Wiltrant’06, J-J. Ramirez’07, L. Brinon'11), Others have obtained  positions in the various industrial fileds, i.e.  Renault (X. Clayes’94, P. Dolcini’96), Altran (V. Chiarla’13), IFPER (L. De Leon’14), McLaren Racing F1 (R. Ceccarelli’12) and created startups (D. Jacquet’97, Karrus-ITS).
