In 1984, he obtained his M.Sc. from the Department of Automatic Control in Grenoble, France. In 1985, he was a visiting researcher at the Lund Institute of Technology in Sweden. In 1987, he received his Ph.D. in Automatic Control from the École Polytechnique de Grenoble (Department of Automatic Control), France. Since then, he has been with the same laboratory (GIPSA-Lab) as a Directeur de Recherche at CNRS, where he teaches and conducts research in control systems. He founded and led the NeCS team (GIPSA-Lab CNRS–INRIA) on networked control systems from 2006 to 2020. He was a visiting professor at the University of Sevilla during 2014–2015. He has established several industrial collaboration projects with major French companies (FRAMATOME, EDF, CEA, IFREMER, RENAULT, SCHNEIDER, ILL, IFP, ALSTOM), and has coordinated and participated in numerous national and European collaborative projects (Scale-FreeBack, COCCON, Speed, FeeNetback, Connect, HYCON2, ARAVIS, VOLHAND, MOCoPo). He has served as Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control (1992–1997), Automatica (1999–2002), IEEE Transactions on Control of Network Systems (2013–2018), and IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology (2014–2018). He is currently a Senior Editor of the Asian Journal of Control (since 2010) and of IEEE Transactions on Control of Network Systems (since 2021). He was General Chair of the European Control Conference (ECC) 2014 in Strasbourg and of the IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC) 2019 in Nice. He served as President of the European Control Association (EUCA) for the term 2013–2015 and was a member of the Board of Governors of the IEEE Control Systems Society from 2011 to 2014. He is the holder of the ERC Advanced Grant 2015 “Scale-FreeBack” (2016–2022) and the ERC Proof-of-Concept Grant “Emob-Twin” (2022–2024). He is an IEEE Fellow of the IEEE Control Systems Society.
