Hasnaa Zidani

Hasnaa Zidani is a Professor in applied mathematics at INSA Rouen Normandie, affiliated with the Laboratoire de Mathématiques de l'INSA (LMI), CNRS EA-3226. She holds the Chaire d'excellence 'COPTI' (2021–2025), funded by ANR, Région Normandie, and the EU, focusing on optimal control applications in environmental modeling, transportation, and image processing. Her research emphasizes optimal control theory, Hamilton-Jacobi equations, numerical methods, and stochastic systems.

Recent activities include organizing conferences like the “On the Road to New Horizons” event (June 2024) celebrating Witold Respondek and serving as a speaker at the 3rd International Conference on Variational Analysis (2024). She co-leads the Workshop on Optimal Control Theory (2023) and has contributed to the ROC-HJ solver for optimal control problems.

Key research interests include multi-objective optimization, stochastic control, and applications in aerospace engineering. Her work bridges theoretical advancements with practical tools like the ROC-HJ software. Awards include the COPTI excellence chair, recognizing her contributions to applied mathematics and control theory.
