Brief biography

I graduated from the Université Paul Sabatier (Université de Toulouse III, France) in Electrical Engineering, in June 2004. Then,  I received the Master's Degree in Control Systems and Real-Time Computing, in June 2006. I defended my Ph. D. thesis in Automatic Control in November 2009 at the Laboratory for Analysis and Architecture of Systems (LAAS) of the CNRS and I received the Ph.D degree from the Université Paul Sabatier in Toulouse, France. This work was conducted with my former advisors: Frédéric Gouaisbaut and Yann Labit. The thesis dealt with the stability analysis of time-varying delay systems and the control application to router management in TCP networks. During that period, I also gave some courses at the university as a teaching fellow (moniteur).

From January to August 2010, I had a postdoc position and I worked with professor Karl Henrik Johansson in the Automatic Control Laboratory at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Sweden.

From August 2010 to August 2021, I was associate professor at the Icam, a private school of general engineering,  at Toulouse (poste d'enseignant-chercheur de droit privé type CDI). I joined the department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. During that period, from January 2012, I was also affiliated with the LAAS to pursue my research activity (statut de chercheur affilié). Between July 2018 and August 2021, my position has evolved to include a management mission. I was the head of the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department, managing a team of about ten people.

Since September 2021, I'm associate professor at INSA (Institut National des Sciences Appliquées) in Toulouse at the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (poste de maître de conférences). I still carry out my research at the LAAS in the MAC team (Methods and Algorithms in Control).
