Islam Boussaada

Full professor

Islam Boussaada received his Maîtrise in Mathematics from the University of Carthage, followed by an M.Sc. (DEA) in Pure Mathematics from the University of Paris City in 2004. He earned his Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Rouen Normandy in 2008. In 2016, he obtained his Habilitation in Physics from the University of Paris-Saclay. Since 2017, he has been a Full Professor at IPSA and an associate researcher at the Laboratory of Signals and Systems (L2S) (Université Paris-Saclay, CNRS, CentraleSupélec) as well as an associate researcher at the DISCO team at Inria Saclay, where he was on research secondment from 2018 to 2020. His research focuses on the qualitative theory of dynamical systems and partial differential equations, and their applications in control theory. IB is co-author of a monograph and co-editor of two contributed volumes all published by Springer and has co-authored over 130 peer-reviewed publications. He served as IPC Co-Chair of the IFAC Workshop on Time-Delay Systems 2024 held in Udine, Italy, and is the co-General Chair of the IFAC joint Conference: the 9th IFAC Symposium on System Structure and Control (SSSC 2025), the 19th IFAC Workshop on Time-Delay Systems (TDS 2025), and the 2nd IFAC Workshop on Control of Complex Systems (COSY 2025), Gif-sur-Yvette, France. From 2018 to 2023, he co-led the national research group GT OSYDI, and from 2019 to 2021, he served as Deputy Director of the IRS iCODE Institute at University of Paris-Saclay. IB has been plenary speaker in several international conferences and he was recently named laureate of the CNRS–Africa Joint Research Program (2024–2028) for the project SPECTRE-EDP, recognizing his commitment to international collaboration in the field of mathematical control theory.
