About

I am an Associate professor of applied mathematics at IRIT (UMR CNRS 5505), APO team in Toulouse, and ENSEEIHT, Department of Computer Science and Telecommunications in Toulouse. I am also an external member of the Inria team McTAO located in Sophia Antipolis.

My research focuses on optimal control, with a particular interest in geometric methods, numerical algorithms, and applications across engineering and the sciences.

I obtained my Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches (HDR) in 2026.
