Vu Van Tan was born in 1985 in Namdinh, Vietnam. He received his B.E. and Master's degrees in mechanical engineering in 2008 and 2012, respectively. He got a Ph.D. degree at Gipsa-lab, Grenoble Alpes University, under the supervision of Professors Olivier Sename and Luc Dugard in 2017 with the thesis title "Enhancing the roll stability of heavy vehicles by using an active anti-roll bar system." From 2008, he has been a lecturer at the Department of Automotive Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Transport and Communications (UTC), Hanoi, Vietnam. From 2021, he is an associate professor in this department.
His research is focused on the practical applications of optimal control, robust control, LPV control, and vehicle dynamics systems. He has a strong international collaboration with the Gipsa-lab, University Grenoble Alpes, France; the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Hungary; University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest, Romania; Osaka University, Japan.

Olivier Sename received Master's degree in 1991 and Ph.D. degree from Ecole Centrale de Nantes in 1994. He received the prestigious Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches from INPG in 2001. He served as an associate professor in 1995 and from 2006 is a professor at the Grenoble INP-UGA, within the GIPSA-lab.His main research interests include theoretical studies in the field of linear systems (time-delay systems, linear parameter varying systems), about control/real-time scheduling co-design, as well as robust control for various applications such as vehicle dynamics, automated vehicles, engine control, and energy systems. He has collaborated with several industrial partners (Renault, JTEKT, SOBEN, Delphi Diesel Systems, Saint-Gobain Vetrotex, PSA Peugeot-Citroën, ST Microelectronics). He is responsible for international bilateral research projects (Mexico, Hungary, Italy, Spain, Vietnam).
