Short biography:

Kevin Guelton received the M.S. degree in 2000 and completing a PhD defended in 2003, both in Human and Industrial Automatic Control from the University of Valenciennes. In 2000, he also received the French Diploma of Engineering School (M.Eng.) from the “Ecole d’Ingénieurs en Génie Informatique et Productique”. In 2010, he succeeded the French habilitation for research direction (HDR) degree in automatic control.

From 2003 to 2005, Kevin Guelton served as a temporary assistant professor in Human and Industrial Automatic Control at the “Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Ingénieurs en Informatique Automatique Mécanique Energétique Electronique” of Valenciennes and was a researcher affiliated with both the Biomechanics team and the Fuzzy Systems team of the “Laboratoire d’Automatique et de Mécanique Industrielles et Humaines”. In 2005, he has been appointed as Associate Professor, then Full Professor since 2019, in automatic control at the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne and is affiliated with the automatic control team of the « Centre de Recherches en Sciences et Techniques de l’Informaion et de la Communication« .
