Short Biography

I was born in 1982 in Lannion, a small city of France located in Brittany. I spent the quasi totality of my childhood in a small town called “La Terrasse” located 25km away from Grenoble in the “Vallée du Grésivaudan” (Gresivaudan valley). My mother was a school teacher and my father both a researcher in computer science at the IMAG and a teacher at the “Universite Joseph Fourier”. I am currently living in Basel, in Switzerland. I got both my Engineers’ and Master of Science degrees in Electrical Engineering in 2005, and my PhD degree in Systems and Control Theory in 2008, all from the Grenoble Institute of Technology (Grenoble, France). During my PhD, I spent less than a year in Georgia Tech (Atlanta, USA). After my PhD, I joined the ACCESS Linnaeus Centre in the Division of Optimization and Systems Theory of the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH, Stockholm, Sweden) for a two-year reserach associate position (2009 to 2011). From January 2012 to August 2017, I have been a research associate at ETH-Zürich, in the Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering, where I worked on theoretical problems arising from systems and synthetic biology. I also worked as a data scientist in Omya from 2019 to 2020, as a data-science senior consultant at Arcondis from 2020 to 2021, and as a Senior Scientist at ETH-Zürich from 2020 to 2022. On my spare-time, I am also involved in some start-ups where I am applying my knowledge to GreenTech/CleanTech, for a (hopefully) better future. My research interests broadly cover systems and control theory in general, as well as adjacent mathematical fields, and their application to complex systems such as communication and biological networks.
