ℹ️ About Me

Postdoctoral Researcher in Control Theory and Machine Learning

I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher under the supervision of Christophe Prieur at Gipsa Lab (Univerisité Grenoble Alpes), working on machine learning approaches for the control of PDEs

Before that, I completed my Ph.D. at Ecole nationale des ponts et chaussées – Institut Polytechnique de Paris, co-supervised by Antoine Chaillet and Amaury Hayat.

My research focuses on control theory, especially the stability and stabilization of finite and infinite-dimensional systems, including time-delay systems and partial differential equations (PDEs).
