Nicolas Petit is Professor at MINES Paris, PSL University at the Centre Automatique et Systèmes. His research interests are in control theory and its applications. Current research works include exoskeletons, refining and energetic processes, multiphase and microfluidic flows, smart ammunitions, and heavy launchers.

He has served as an Associate Editor for Automatica over the 2006–2015 period and has been Senior Editor for Journal of Process Control since 2014. After being the co-founder of a startup company, he now actively serves on the board or as scientific advisor for several other startups, including Wandercraft, Fieldbox.ai, and K-Ryole. He is also a Member of the Scientific Board of IFP Energies Nouvelles.

He received two times the “Journal of Process Control Paper Prize” for Best article over the periods 2002–-2005 and 2008–-2011, and is recipient of the 2016 Production and Operations Regional Award from Society of Petroleum Engineers. He is also the recipient of the 2017 FIEEC-F2i award for Applied Research for his outstanding contribution to Fluigent microfluidic products.

Nicolas Petit graduated from Ecole Polytechnique in 1995 (X92), and obtained his Ph.D. in Mathematics and Control at Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Paris in 2000. In 2000–-2001, he was a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Control and Dynamical Systems at the California Institute of Technology. He received the Habilitation à diriger des recherches en Mathématiques from Université Pierre et Marie Curie in 2007. He was head of Centre Automatique et Systèmes from 2008 to 2022. In 2022 he was Auditeur at Collège des Hautes Etudes de l'Institut Diplomatique.
