A Quick Summary

Welcome to my personal website!
Well as first impression goes, in this section you will have a little summary of my most important personal information...

Currently a full professor in robotics systems at UEVE and Paris-Saclay University. From 2011 to 2019, I was an associate professor in humanoid robotics at UVSQ, holding at the same time an industrial excellence chair about hydraulic domestication at UVSQ & BIA company. From 2010 to 2011, I was a Postdoc researcher at TUM-Germany with a scholarship from the Alexander Von Humboldt Foundation. I received my Ph.D in robotics from UVSQ in 2009. Awarded the best Ph.D thesis in robotics by the French CNRS in 2010. Awarded for the best Ph.D thesis in robotics for the 20 years’ anniversary of UVSQ. I have been an investigator of several French national projects. I am the leader of the mechatronics research group. I was the team leader of Paris-Saclay team to Mohamed Bin Zayed International Robotics Challenge MBZIRC2017. I am co-coordinator of the Institute for Control and Decision (iCode Paris-Saclay). I published 28 peer-reviewed original publications and 14 patents. I obtained 2.4 M€ funding during the last 5 years.

As A Mechatronics Design & Robotics Expert

...My goals are to help disabled people walk by building strong, powerful and safe robotic systems. Their behavior should be able to reach human beings' performances and improve their autonomy. Yet this will also push application's domains around Healthcare and Silver Economy by touching aged and disabled people.
