About me

Experience

• Post-Doctoral Researcher in Optimization, WID, UW-Madison (2015 – )

  • Projects: efficient solver for friction contact problems; Lagrangian Modification; Forward Capacity Market; ANMODS, an Agricultural Nutrient Management System

  • Tools: GAMS (writing models, use of the C, Java and Python bindings), siconos (simulation of mechanical systems with friction and impacts, non-smooth systems), MATLAB

  • Theoretical tools: Affine Variational Inequality (AVI), Moreau-Yosida approximation, Variational Analysis

Education:

• PhD Control Theory, Grenoble University (2011 – 2015)

  • Topic: Analysis and implementation of discrete-time sliding mode controller (SMC)

  • Objective: investigate the use of an implicit discretization scheme for the simulation and implementation of SMC controllers

  • Experimental validations: see the Videos page and the associated MATLAB code

  Advisors: Bernard Brogliato and Vincent Acary
