About me
I am a Tenure Track assistant professor at School of Mathematical Sciences, Peking University. Prior to that I was a Research Scientist (postdoc) at EPFL, in the group of Prof. Joachim Krieger.
Former student at École Normale Supérieure de Paris and Peking University, I obtained my Ph.D. on controllability and stabilization of fluids at Sorbonne Université under the supervision of Prof. Jean-Michel Coron, while in the year 2017 I was invited researcher at ETH Zürich.

Frequency Lyapunov for quantitative stabilization
In [8, 9] I introduced the Frequency Lyapunov method, a constructive method that combines spectral inequalities and Lyapunov functionals, to get quantitative rapid stabilization, null-controllability with optimal costs, and finite time stabilization.
Removing the compactness arguments for dispersive equations by quantitative approaches allows to construct more robust and applicable controls. In [2, 3, 6] we have studied constructive controllabilities for KdV equations describing waves in a canal. We quantitatively stabilise nonlinear waves equations with damping in [7, 15].
In a series of works [10, 11, 14] we have investigated the Fredholm backstepping for a large class of operators, the compactness/duality method introduced in [14] overcomes the threshold imposed by the classical approach.
In the works [1] and [4] we have benefited from nonlinear structures to stabilize the KdV equations and the viscous Burgers equation for which the linearized systems are not stabilizable.
In [12] we have combined the WKB method, the semiclassical limit and the geometrical nonlinear control techniques to get an approximate controllability of the quantum density and quantum momentum.
Traffic jams are generated from the instability of traffic equilibrium states [13], and increase strongly the fuel consumption and the emissions. We construct feedback laws on autonomous vehicles to stabilize these stop-and-go waves.
