Adrien Banse
Ph.D. in Mathematical Engineering
My research area is at the intersection of Mathematics and Computer Science. More precisely, I am interested in
- Smart data-driven methods for abstracting dynamical systems
- Metrics between Markov models and their applications
- Analysis and control of adversarial switched linear systems
I completed my Ph.D. at the Mathematical Engineering department of the ICTEAM, at UCLouvain, under the supervision of Raphaël Jungers (UCLouvain) and Alessandro Abate (University of Oxford). My Erdős Number is 4.
