Silviu-Iulian Niculescu

Silviu-Iulian Niculescu is a Romanian-French applied mathematician specializing in control theory and the analysis of dynamical systems with delays. He is a research director at the French National Centre for Scientific Research and a member of the Laboratory of Signals and Systems at CentraleSupélec. He is also a member and co-founder of the Inria DISCO research team.
Niculescu's research concerns the analysis and control of dynamical systems affected by time delays. His work includes stability and stabilization, robust control, operator theory, and numerical optimization. He was elected an IEEE Fellow in 2018 for research on the effects of delays in system dynamics and an IFAC Fellow in 2025 for contributions to the analysis and control of dynamical systems with delays.
