More details:

My research interests lie in the analysis and control of mathematical models arising from population biology in its widest sense. Using the theory of dynamical systems, I aim to answer questions related to the long-term behavior of such models. For example "Does a population survive?", "Can two interacting species coexist?", or "Does a population oscillate in the long-term?". I am particularly interested in the application of the theories of monotone dynamical systems, periodic semi-flows, and the theory of persistence.

 Understanding the long-term behavior of population models leads to interesting control problems in the context of industrial biotechnology, wastewater treatment, bioenergy, production, or epidemiology. For example, "How to lead an undesired population (e.g. mosquitoes) to extinction?", "How to maximize the removal of contaminants in wastewater?", or "How to maximize the production of a fermentation product?". I use the theory of control (mainly optimal control) to answer to these questions.
