About me
I am a Postdoc researcher in Applied Mathematics at Mines Paris and Inria team QUANTIC working with Pierre Rouchon. I am mainly interested in optimal control and optimization with a focus on geometric applications. Namely, I work on the following research fields :
- Quantum control whose goal is to adapt tools from classical optimal control theory to quantum mechanics in order to provide faster, more accurate and more robust ways to control quantum systems. Applications include medical imaging, chemical reactions control, quantum sensing, quantum computing… More recently, I have also been working on quantum error corrections.
- Optimization and shape optimization for nuclear fusion reactors (more specifically Stellarators) with Stellacage and Renaissance fusion. I am interested both in theoretical aspects, like existence of minimizer in shape optimization, and numerical implementation.
Interests
- Optimal control theory
- Quantum control
- Open quantum systems
- Differential geometry
