معرفی
Christophe Zhang is a researcher currently seconded to the SPHINX team at INRIA Nancy Grand Est. His work focuses on control theory, specifically the stabilization, reachability analysis, and optimal control of partial differential equations (PDEs) and data-driven systems.
Educational Background:
- PhD in Applied Mathematics (2019), Sorbonne Université
- Master's in Applied Mathematics (2016), Paris 6 University
- Engineering Degree (2015), École polytechnique
Research Interests: His research spans the analysis and control of PDEs (hyperbolic and parabolic equations), data-driven modelling, Koopman operator methods, and reachability analysis with constraints. He explores techniques like backstepping, Fenchel duality, and computer-assisted proofs to tackle stabilization and controllability challenges.
Publications: His recent work includes studies on conic-constrained reachability, non-reachability certification via duality, and stabilization of the heat equation and water wave systems. These papers emphasize rigorous mathematical frameworks combined with computational approaches.
