Research short bio

Charles Poussot-Vassal is Researcher Director with ONERA, the French aerospace lab (Toulouse, France) and co-funder of MOR Digital Systems (http://mordigitalsystems.fr/). His research lies in the wide field of (dynamical) model- & tensor-based rational approximation, control design and analysis. His activities is focussed on the development and implementation of numerical schemes, and on the applications to a broad range of complex problems including industrial applications. He was born in Grenoble, France, in 1982. In 2005, he completed his Engineering degree and M.Sc. in control and embedded systems from Grenoble INP-ESISAR and Lund University of Technology. In 2008, he completed his Ph.D. degree in control systems theory with the GIPSA-lab. He obtained his French habilitation in control and applied mathematics, in 2019 from Toulouse INP. At the beginning of 2009, he worked as a research assistant with the Politecnico di Milano. From mid-2009, he joined ONERA, as a full-time researcher. From July 2020, he is co-funder of MOR Digital Systems, a start-up providing solutions for tensor and dynamical model approximation, system identification and analysis.
