معرفی
Sorin Olaru is a Professor at CentraleSupélec and a member of the CNRS Laboratory of Signals and Systems (L2S) at Paris-Saclay University, France. Since 2020, he holds the RTE Chair in Energy System Control. His research focuses on optimization-based control design, set-theoretic methods for constrained dynamical systems, and numerical methods in control and optimization. He leads projects in embedded predictive control, fault-tolerant systems, and network control with time-delays.
Education & Affiliations: CentraleSupélec (Professor), CNRS L2S (Researcher), Paris-Saclay University (Affiliated).
Research Interests: Model predictive control (MPC), invariant set theory, control design for embedded systems, fault diagnosis, and applications in energy storage (e.g., zinc-air batteries) and autonomous navigation. His work bridges theoretical advances with industrial applications in power systems and robotics.
Recent Projects: Development of zinc-air battery models for control, MPC-based congestion management in power grids, and symbolic motion planning for autonomous systems. He actively contributes to conferences like CDC, ICCA, and IFAC NMPC, delivering plenary talks on set-theoretic methods and invariance.
Students & Collaborations: Supervises PhD/postdoc researchers (e.g., Oumayma Khattabi, Turan Konyalioglu) and collaborates with industries like Renault and RTE. His group has produced over 20 PhD graduates, many now in academia (e.g., Ionela Prodan at Grenoble INP) or industry R&D.
Labs & Teams: Heads the SYCOMORE team (Robust and Constrained Control of Complex Systems) at L2S, fostering interdisciplinary work on energy systems, autonomous robotics, and industrial control challenges.
