Biographical sketch

I received the Master Degree in Computer Science and Automatic Control Engineering in 2008 and the Ph.D degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in 2012, from the University of L'Aquila. From 2012 to 2014 I was a postdoctoral researcher at DEWS. I was a visiting scholar at the Ohio State University (USA) in 2009/2010, at University of Pavia (Italy) and INRIA - Grenoble (France)  in 2012, 2013.  From 2015 to 2020 I worked in several companies in the public and private sectors with public participation as a manager of research projects and I have dedicated 4 years to teaching scientific subjects. Since November 2020 I am senior postdoc researcher at DISIM, DEWS Research Center of Excellence at the University of L'Aquila.

Research interests

My research interests are on control of multiagent systems, modeling, analysis and control of networked, embedded and distributed systems, nonlinear systems and optimal control, artificial intelligence algorithms.  Application domains of interest are vehicle dynamics control, connected hybrid and electric vehicle control, traffic control, robotics, smart agriculture and health.
