Dr. Corentin Briat

Corentin Briat joined the Bioprocess Technology Laboratory at the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland (FHNW) in 2024. His research focuses on applied mathematics, systems and control theory, optimization, computational methods, and their practical applications in modeling, analyzing, and controlling complex systems, with applications in complex biological networks and reacting systems. 

He holds both a master’s and an engineer’s degree in electrical engineering from the Grenoble Institute of Technology. He also earned his PhD in Systems and Control Theory from the same institution. From 2009 to 2011, he served as a research associate at the ACCESS Linnaeus Center in the Division of Optimization and Systems Theory (KTH, Stockholm, Sweden), working on modeling and analyzing large-scale communication networks. Later, he held positions as a Research Associate and a Senior Scientist at the Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering (D-BSSE) at ETH-Zurich (Basel, Switzerland) from 2012 to 2017 and from 2019 to 2022. During these periods, his work focused on mixing concepts from control theory and systems/synthetic biology to understand how living organisms regulate their functions and develop new control strategies that could be used in an industrial setting.  

He also held Data Scientist and Consulting positions in the chemical and Life Sciences industry from 2019 to 2021.
