About Me

PhD Candidate in Control, Stability, and Stabilization Theory

I am currently pursuing a PhD under the joint supervision of Antoine Chaillet (L2S, CentraleSupélec, Paris-Saclay University) and Amaury Hayat (CERMICS, École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées), since September 2022. My research is focused on control theory, specifically on the stability and stabilization of infinite-dimensional systems, including time-delay systems and partial differential equations (PDEs).
