Dr Nacim Ramdani has been with the Networking & Telecoms Dep. and the CERTES Lab. of the Université Paris-Est Créteil, since 1996. He currently holds the rank of Maître de Conférence - HDR (Associate Professor). He has also been affiliated with the Robotics Dep. LIRMM CNRS Univ. Montpellier 2 since 2005. During 2007-2009, he was with the INRIA Sophia Antipolis Méditerranée - the Coprin group.
He is member of the IFAC TC on Discrete Events and Hybrid System and PC member of Hybrid Systems: Computation & Control conferences. He is also co-leading the French working group on Set Computation Techniques of the French research group on Automatic Control GDR MACS, and co-organizing the annual Workshop on Interval Methods, SWIM'08 Univ. Montpellier, SWIM'09 EPFL Lausanne and SWIM'10 Nantes.
Dr Nacim Ramdani current research interests include modelling and analysis of cyber-physical systems in presence of uncertainty, set membership estimation with applications to robotics and human movement science, safe motion planning for humanoid robots, and modelling efficient / deficient human movement and posture control with applications to healthcare and human-robot interaction.
