Claude Duvanaud

Claude Duvanaud serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Automatic Control and Systems within the School of Engineering at University of Poitiers. His research is primarily conducted through the LIAS (Laboratory of Automatic Systems) which maintains dual locations at both ENSIP (École Nationale Supérieure d'Ingénieurs de Poitiers) in Poitiers and ISAE-ENSMA (Institut Supérieur de l'Aéronautique et de l'Espace) in Chasseneuil, reflecting a strong interdisciplinary collaboration between these engineering institutions.

Professor Duvanaud's research focuses on Automatic Control Systems with particular expertise in RF power amplifier linearization, nonlinear system identification, and microwave engineering. His work bridges theoretical control methods with practical RF circuit implementation, developing innovative solutions for distortion compensation in wireless communication systems. He has made significant contributions to adaptive Kalman filtering algorithms for real-time amplifier linearization and has explored novel approaches to internal model control for high-frequency amplification.

Analysis of his publication record reveals a consistent research trajectory centered on RF power amplifier modeling and linearization techniques. His work demonstrates a progression from fundamental amplifier characterization to sophisticated digital predistortion methods, with increasing focus on real-time adaptive algorithms. The research spans both theoretical modeling and practical implementation, with applications spanning wireless communications, satellite systems, and advanced RF circuit design.

Within the LIAS laboratory, Professor Duvanaud is a key member of the Automatic Control Team, collaborating extensively with researchers including Smail Bachir, Mourad Djamai, and Lucian Dascalescu. His work intersects with other research teams at LIAS including the Data Engineering and Real Time teams, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of modern control systems research. The laboratory's dual-location structure enables collaboration between mechanical/aerospace engineering at ISAE-ENSMA and broader engineering disciplines at ENSIP.
