Open positions

  • There are no open positions at this time.

Research topics

  • My main research interests are focused in the fields of adaptive and robust digital control and flat dynamic systems characterization. The practical applications on which I have been most involved are active noise and vibration control and convertible UAVs that can take-off and land vertically but use aerodynamic surfaces such as wings to increase autonomy. More recently, I have become interested in predictive maintenance with artificial intelligence and neural networks based models.

Projects

  • Principal investigator for the french research agency (ANR) founded young researchers (JCJC) project MICA which deals with the problem of fault detection and isolation and fault tolerant control for convertible UAVs (please visit our website for more information)

Education
