Leonardo Colombo is a Tenured Scientist (Científico Titular) of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) at the Centre for Automation and Robotics (CAR). He holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the Autonomous University of Madrid (2014). In the period between 2014 and 2017, he was an Assistant Professor and Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Mathematics of the University of Michigan. He continued his postdoctoral training (2017-2018) as an ACCESS Lineaus Center Postdoctoral Researcher in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at KTH, Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. In 2018 he obtains a Juan de la Cierva Incorporation grant in Spain to work at ICMAT in the Geometric Mechanics and Control group. In 2019 he obtained a Junior Leader Incoming grant from Fundación La Caixa for three years to develop control algorithms for the cooperation and coordination of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles. In 2021 he joins the Fields and Service Robotic Group at CAR. He is/has been PI of research projects/grants financed by the La Caixa Foundation on the subject of geometric control for coordination of unmanned aerial vehicles, by the BBVA Foundation on the subject of learning-based control of multi-agent systems and VRI-CSIC (LINCGLOBAL 2022) on Multi-domain Multi-robot systems for Biodiversity Preservation and the Global Change.
