Presentation

Engineer from the École Nationale Supérieure de Techniques Avancées (ENSTA) and docteur in automatic control from the University of Orsay, after having been a research assistant at the Catholic University of Louvain, Belgium (1997-1998) and lecturer at the University of Caen Basse-Normandie from 1998 to 2007, he is currentlyprofessor in automatic control and signal processing at the École Centrale de Lyon. He was director of the EEA (electronics, electrical engineering and automation) Doctoral School of Centrale Lyon department from July 2012 to June 2022 and director of the Lyon EEA doctoral school from January 2011 to December 2020. He was Chairman of the Restricted Board from March 2017 to June 2021 and then from July 2024 to June 2025. He is currently scientific coordinator of the doctoral college at the University of Lyon. He carries out his research at the Laboratoire Ampère within the Methods for Systems Engineering department.

Research projects

His research topics in automation cover the analysis and control of systems in the presence of uncertainties by convex optimization and their engineering applications, more specifically interconnected systems (decentralized, large-scale, distributed), theextension of robust control (in particular frequency approaches) to nonlinear systems with a view to developing new engineering methods, applications to vibration control at different scales (from MEMS sensors to mechanical systems), to the electronic design of systems performing signal processing functions or even in Systems Biology.
