Frédéric JEAN is a Professor and Director of the Unité de Mathématiques Appliquées (UMA) at ENSTA Paris. His expertise lies in nonlinear control theory and geometric control, with applications in neurophysiology modeling. He holds an HDR (Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches) and advises doctoral students across multiple domains. Research Interests: Frédéric’s research focuses on geometric control theory, sub-Riemannian geometry, optimal control, and nonholonomic systems. His work bridges theoretical advancements with practical applications in neurophysiology and aerospace engineering. Recent studies include trajectory planning for planetary landings and robust control strategies under uncertainty. Teaching: He teaches courses on applied differential geometry, dynamical systems analysis, and control systems at ENSTA Paris. Publications: His recent work emphasizes sub-Riemannian geometry, stochastic control, and aerospace applications. Key trends include optimal control in constrained systems and geometric approaches to robotic and biological movement. Students: Co-supervised over 10 doctoral theses, including those by Clara Leparoux (2023), Meryem Kafnemer (2022), and Sofya Maslovskaya (2018). Labs/Teams: Active within the Optimization and Commande team at UMA, contributing to interdisciplinary research in control systems and applied mathematics.
