Associated Researcher

My interests are in the control of models coming from biology and social sciences. I worked in Collective behavior and currently my research is focused on in controllability of parabolic equations under constraints coming from the application.

Master’s Thesis. “Asymptotic Analysis and Control of Kinetic Cucker-Smale Models”

Description. In this Master’s Thesis, some results related to Cucker-Smale models are presented together with the asymptotic analysis for flocking, from the discrete Cucker-Smale model towards the kinetic version of it. The existence and uniqueness of measure valued solutions is also shown. Furthermore, a discussion about the control of the kinetic Cucker-Smale model for reaching flocking and a discussion about a delayed Cucker-Smale model is presented.
