I am a researcher in the TRIPOP project-team of the INRIA center of University Grenoble Alpes . I was two years (2014--2016) in Santiago de Chile at INRIA Chile. A short interview in Spanish.
My research interests concern the modeling, the analysis and the simulation of nonsmooth dynamical systems. Typical instances are mechanical systems with unilateral constraints, contact, Coulomb's friction, impacts, plasticity, fracture (granular materials, masonry buildings, circuit breakers, robotic arms), electrical circuits with ideal components, or sliding mode control. Many other interesting applications may also be found in physics, biology and ecological economics.
I am one of the promoter of the Journal of Theoretical, Computational and Applied Mechanics (JTCAM).
I am also animating the friendly European Network for Nonsmooth Dynamics.
