- I have supervised over 20 PhD students, 17 postdoctoral fellows, 3 HDR (French degree for research supervision) and 7 PhD visitors (one to four months stays in my team, from Europe, Mexico and Russia). Of my past PhD students, 5 of them are University Professor or Associate Professor and all others hold major R&D positions in industrial sector (except one who works in tertiary sector). Some of them received renowned awards, for example:
![]() Anca Gheorghe, France’s Aerospace Valley award, 2014 ![]() Pascal Simon, “European PhD Day”, Airbus, Toulouse, France, 2009. ![]() Alexandre Falcoz, French Association of Aeronautics and Astronautics (3AF) award, 2015 Below is a selected list of my past PhD students together with their future after PhD:

As any university professor in France, about half of my working time is devoted to teaching and supervision of student projects.
- At undergraduate level, I teach mainly automatic control and signal processing at IUT de Bordeaux (Département Mesures Physiques) where I supervise also lab activities, projects and training.
- At graduate level, I used to teach system identification, estimation methods, fault diagnosis and numerical methods for advanced control design. I had been Deputy director and Director of doctoral studies in control, signals and systems of the Bordeaux University for several years. I continue to supervise Master projects in Automatic Control. As member of innovation comity board of the Bordeaux University, I participate to the selection/evaluation/funding process of the most innovative student projects in all disciplines (at graduate and undergraduate levels).
- In other countries, I have given a number of invited lectures in Europe at Master and PhD level. As an example,my last lecture given in 2021 has been in May 2021 for the School of Aerospace Science and Technology, Xidian University, China. I have also participated to sevral international PhD examination committees in Europe: Germany (University of Duisburg-Essen); Netherlands (Delft University of Technology), or Italy (Politecnico di Torino).
