received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Automatic Control from the Polytechnic Institute of Grenoble, France, in 2001 and 2005, respectively. During 2004–2005, he served as a Research and Teaching Assistant at the Laboratoire de Signaux et Systèmes (LSS, CentraleSupélec) and Université Paris-Sud (Paris 11). He then joined Gipsa-Lab (formerly LAG) as a CNRS postdoctoral researcher. He is currently a Senior CNRS Researcher in Automatic Control and Robotics at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), affiliated with the Montpellier Laboratory of Computer Science, Robotics, and Microelectronics (LIRMM). His research interests include nonlinear control (adaptive, robust, and predictive) and its real-time applications in various areas of robotics, including parallel robotics, marine robotics, and wearable robotics. He is the author or co-author of more than 195 scientific publications, including journal articles, patents, books, book chapters, and conference proceedings. He has co-supervised 26 Ph.D. theses (including 21 successfully defended) and more than 40 M.Sc. theses. He is the Head of the Marine Robotics Team, and the Chair of the LIRMM Valorization Committee. He serves as Technical Editor for IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics and as Guest Editor for several special issues. He is an IEEE Senior Member and an IFAC member of Technical Committees TC1.2 (Adaptive and Learning Systems), TC4.2 (Mechatronic Systems), TC4.3 (Robotics), and TC7.2 (Marine Systems). He has also served as a TPC/IPC member and Associate Editor for several international conferences, including IEEE IROS, IEEE RO-MAN, IFAC ALCOS, IFAC CAMS, and the IFAC World Congress, among others, and has organized multiple scientific events.
