Nail Baloul

PhD Student in Applied Mathematics
École nationale des ponts et chaussées – CERMICS

About Me

Since October 2024, I am a PhD student (MAS team) at the CERMICS laboratory (École nationale des ponts et chaussées). My research focuses on traffic flow modeling, control of PDEs, inverse problems, and learning-based methods for PDE-constrained systems. I am co-supervised by Pierre Lissy (Junior Professor, ENPC) and Thibault Liard (Associate Professor, Université de Limoges) and co-advised by Amaury Hayat (Professor, ENPC).
