CV

Hei,

My name is William Jussiau, I arrived at NTNU-ITK in April 2025 to work on bird strike prevention for wind turbines.

  • I graduated from ISAE-SUPAERO (Aerospace Graduate School  in Toulouse, France) in 2018 as an Aerospace Control Engineer.
  • I worked for Safran Electronics & Defense near Paris, France, from 2018 to 2020 as a Research Control Engineer, mainly on aircraft anticollision with MPC and trajectory optimization techniques.
  • I started a PhD at ONERA - The French Aerospace Lab late 2020, which I defended in July 2024. This research was focused on developing control laws for suppressing oscillations in oscillator fluid flows.

Feel free to contact me!

Competencies

  • Fluid Dynamics
  • Linear Time-Invariant Systems
  • Robust Control

Research

  • My previous research (PhD at ONERA - The French Aerospace Lab) consisted in developing controller synthesis methods for oscillator fluid flows. Oscillator flows form a particular class of laminar flows that exhibit an unstable equilibrium and an attractor (limit cycle, quasi-periodic attractor or chaotic attractor). The most well-known oscillator flow is the flow past a cylinder exhibiting the von Kármán vortex street. The control challenge lie in the high-dimensionality and nonlinearity of the system.
  • My current research at NTNU-ITK consists in developing control laws for bird avoidance with wind turbines, as part of the SKARV project with SINTEF.

Publications

Data-driven stabilization of an oscillating flow with linear time-invariant controllers

In this paper (published in a fluid dynamics journal), we propose advances towards the data-based control of periodic oscillator flows with a sequence of linear time-invariant controllers.

Control of a Class of High-Dimensional Nonlinear Oscillators: Application to Flow Stabilization

In this article, we propose a simulation-based method using Youla parametrization to produce linear time-invariant controllers suppressing oscillations in oscillator flows.

My publications focus on the control of oscillator flows at low Reynolds number (e.g. the Von Kármán vortex street behind a cylinder, or the flow over an open cavity) with linear time-invariant controllers.
