Yann le Gorrec

Biography

Yann Le Gorrec (M’14) received the Engineering degree in control, electronics, and computer engineering from the National Institute of Applied Sciences, Toulouse, France, in 1995, and the Ph.D. degree from the National Higher School of Aeronautics and Aerospace, Toulouse, with a focus on robust control and self-scheduled controller synthesis.,From 1999 to 2008, he was Associate Professor of Automatic Control with the Laboratory of Control and Chemical Engineering, Lyon Claude Bernard University, Villeurbanne, France. He worked on port Hamiltonian systems and their use for the modeling and control of irreversible and distributed parameter systems with an application to physicochemical processes. Since 2008, he has been a Professor with the National Engineering Institute in Mechanics and Microtechnologies, Besançon, France. His current field of research is the control of nonlinear systems and infinite-dimensional systems with an application to smart material-based actuators and microactuators.
