Biography

Ludovic Renson is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Imperial College London, where he leads the Nonlinear Dynamics & Control research group. He earned his PhD in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Liège in Belgium in 2014 and subsequently moved to the University of Bristol as a postdoctoral researcher. He held Marie Skłodowska-Curie Royal Academy Engineering research fellowships before joining Imperial College in 2019. His research interests lie primarily in nonlinear vibrations of engineered structures, focusing on the development of computational methods including nonlinear modeling, nonlinear modes, bifurcation analysis, and optimization. Additionally, he works on nonlinear system identification using physics-guided machine learning and control-based experimental techniques. He is also involved with the Vibration University Technology Centre (VUTC), which is supported by Rolls-Royce, leading the development of software for nonlinear vibration analysis of aeroengines.
