I was excited to participate in Reglermöte 2025 (Swedish Control Conference 2025), where I presented my recent work. The conference took place at Lund University from June 11 to 13 and served as a key forum for connecting academia and industry, offering great opportunities for collaboration and networking across Sweden.
I am happy to share that my PhD thesis was selected as a finalist for the 2025 Best PhD Thesis Award (Prix des Meilleures Thèses) by GDR MACS. This award recognizes outstanding research in automatic control, systems modeling, and information processing in France, and is organized by GDR MACS in collaboration with the Automatic Control Section of Club EEA and SAGIP.
I am thrilled to announce that I successfully defended my Ph.D. thesis, entitled "Control of Constrained Multi-Agent Systems with Cooperative and Antagonistic Interactions", at Université Paris-Saclay. 🎓
My work was conducted at ONERA - The French Aerospace Lab and L2S - Laboratory of Signals and Systems under the supervision of Dr. Antonio Loria (CNRS, L2S), Dr. Ioannis Sarras (ONERA, DTIS) and Dr. Julien Marzat (ONERA, DTIS).
My research focused on designing distributed control laws for multi-agent robotic systems interconnected over signed networks required to execute coordination tasks. More particularly, to control a swarm of autonomous vehicles to gather and advance in formation or to be contained in a safe zone in realistic, constrained environments while addressing the following challenges: the presence of cooperative and competitive interactions, multiple leaders, control under inter-agent constraints, and disturbances.
I am grateful for the valuable insights and feedback provided by my jury members: Prof. Cristina Stoica (CentraleSupélec/L2S), Prof. Claudio Altafini (Linkoping University), Prof. Ming Cao (University of Groningen) and Prof. Maria Elena Valcher (University of Padova).
A special thanks to Dr. Elena Panteley (CNRS, L2S) for our collaboration during my Ph.D. and for being an invited jury member of my committee. I am also thankful to Prof. Bayu Jayawardhana for hosting me at University of Groningen in the Netherlands for two and a half months and for our collaboration that followed.
Thank you to everyone who supported me along the way!
I am very happy to announce that I received the Best PhD Thesis Award for a second-year PhD student in the Systems and Control session at the L2S PhD Students Day, Université Paris-Saclay.
I was a visiting researcher at the Faculty of Science and Engineering, Engineering and Technology Institute Groningen (ENTEG), University of Groningen, The Netherlands, for 2.5 months from April to July 2023. During this period, I worked on barrier-Lyapunov-function-based robust formation control design for a network of cooperative-competitive robot manipulators with inter-agent constraints under perturbation, collaborating with Prof. Bayu Jayawardhana.
