Biography

Isabelle Queinnec is currently CNRS researcher at LAAS-CNRS, Université de Toulouse. She received her PhD degree and HDR degree in automatic control in 1990 and 2000, respectively, from University Paul Sabatier, Toulouse. Her current research interests include constrained control and robust control of processes, with particular interest in applications on aeronautical systems, biochemical and environmental processes. She serves as member of the IFAC technical committees on "Biosystems and Bioprocesses" and on "Modelling and Control of Environmental Systems", respectively from 2002 and 2005.

Publications The full list of my publications is available on the  publication web base of the LAAS ou directly here. Less often updated, but definitively more readable, you can access the pdf publication list that I transmit to CNRS every two years.
The selection by themes only considers a partial list of my publication, but presented by research subjects. The pdf version of the papers are sometimes given, and the publications may appear several times in the list if required by their subject.
