Islam Boussaada received his Master in Mathematics from University Tunis II, and an M.Sc. degree in Pure Mathematics from University Paris 7 in 2004. In December 2008, he defended his Ph.D. degree in Mathematics from University of Rouen Normandy. In June 2016, he received his HDR degree (French Habilitation) in Physics from University Paris Saclay-University Paris Sud. In 2010, IB was appointed for one year as a post-doctoral fellow in the control of time-delay systems at L2S, Supelec-CNRS-University Paris Sud. From September 2011 until September 2017, he has been an associate professor at IPSA and an associate researcher at MODESTY Team of L2S. Since October 2017, IB is appointed associate researcher at DISCO Team and full professor at IPSA where he headed the Aeronautical and Aerospace Systems department from September 2017 till May 2019. Since September 2018 untill August 2020, IB is a researcher in temporary secondment at Inria Saclay-DISCO Team. His research interests belong to the qualitative theory of dynamical systems and its application in control problems. It includes stability analysis and stabilization of linear/nonlinear dynamical systems, analysis of parametric systems, analysis of delay induced dynamics, nonhyperbolic dynamics, analysis of algebraic differential systems, control of active vibrations, dynamics of biochemical networks. IB is co-author of a monograph and co-editor of a contributed book, both published in Springer series, as well as co-author of more than 60 peer-reviewed publications.
