            Research activities

    - System identification: links between sequential design of experiments and dual (active) control.
    - Experimental design and nonlinear regression: parameter estimation for singular experiments (collaboration with Andrej Pazman, Comenius University, Bratislava).
    - Semi-parametric estimation: parameter estimation in regression models (possibly nonlinear) in the presence of errors with unknown distribution by minimisation of the entropy of the residuals.
    - Estimation of entropy (Shannon, Rényi...) by nearest-neighbour methods (collaboration with Nikolai Leonenko, Cardiff University).
    - Analysis of convergence of optimisation algorithms considered as dynamical systems, in particular gradient-type algorithms (collaboration with  Henry P. Wynn, LSE, and Anatoli A Zhigljavsky, Cardiff University).
    - Non-parametric estimation, kriging (board member of the GdR MASCOT-NUM): design of computer experiments, kriging for system inversion (collaboration with IFP - Institut Français du Pétrole- Solaize)
