Yacouba Simpore is an Associate Professor at Université de Fada N'Gourma in Burkina Faso. He is currently a visiting researcher at the Chair of Computational Mathematics through the Senior Visitor Program at the ERC-DyCon Project, led by Prof. Enrique Zuazua at DeustoCCM (University of Deusto).

• PhD in Mathematics (2016), University of Ouagadougou
• Master of Science in Mathematics (2009-2011), University of Ouagadougou
• Bachelor of Science in Mathematics (2005-2009), University of Ouagadougou

His research focuses on **theoretical control problems** in population dynamics, particularly for nonlinear, age-structured, and size-structured models. He explores controllability and positivity constraints in systems governed by partial differential equations, with applications in ecological and biological modeling.

Recent publications highlight his work on **degenerate structured population models**, addressing null controllability and positivity constraints. These studies integrate age, size, and spatial structuring with diffusion processes, advancing mathematical frameworks for population control systems.
