        Dr. Sébastien Court

        Assistant Professor, Department of mathematics & Digital Science Center, University of Innsbruck.

        During my former postdoc positions I worked on simulation of displacements inside volcanoes caused by fractures (Labex ClerVolc, France), and on optimal control problems with time and geometric parameters (Graz, Austria).

        I have also worked on control and stabilization of self-propelled systems in a fluid during my Ph.D. thesis.

        Preliminary versions of some of my preprints are available here.
