Current position:

• I am currently a CNRS  Junior Researcher at LAAS-CNRS working in MAC Team,  in long term mission at LIS-CNRS from 04/2025 to 09/2025.

• From 01/07/2021 to 31/10/2022, I was a Postdoctoral fellow at LAAS-CNRS Toulouse funded by LabEx CIMI, working in the MAC Team then in POP Team, under the supervision of Victor Magron, Milan Korda and Jean-Bernard Lasserre.

• From 11/2019 to 06/2021, I was a Postdoctoral fellow in the Inria Team Biocore at Inria Sophia Antipolis, working under the supervision of Jean-Luc Gouzé and Madalena Chaves.

• From 09/2016 to 09/2019, I was a Phd student at Centre de Mathématiques Appliquées at Ecole Polytechnique under the supervision of Ugo Boscain and Mario Sigalotti, in the Inria Team Cage.

Research interests:

• Quantum control 

• Ensemble control, control of networks of dynamical systems

• Optimal control: 

1. Geometric control tools

2.  Optimal control of piecewise-affine systems, optimal control of ensembles

3. Numerical resolution (e.g. Moment-SOS hierarchies)

• Applications:  NMR applications, quantum information, gene regulatory networks
