Research Interests

My research program concentrates on the area of control systems. I am broadly interested in the study of robust and nonlinear control systems, usually in circumstances where interesting and relevant issues arise from networked control implementations in cyber-physical systems. I am also interested in evolving artificial intelligence methods for industrial process monitoring. More precisely, my main research topics include:

Convex and quasi-convex methods for robust and nonlinear control: in this context, the idea is to represent uncertain, time-varying, and/or nonlinear dynamical systems by linear differential inclusions that allow obtaining convex or quasi-convex conditions for analysis and synthesis.
Cyber-physical systems: the interest is designing resource-aware controllers for the stabilization of networked control systems considering network-induced phenomena and the presence of malicious cyber-attacks affecting communication.
Evolving systems for industrial process monitoring: the interest is employing evolving methods, such as evolving fuzzy systems and evolving neural networks, for monitoring industrial processes to achieve early detection of events. The main interest in evolving systems is to perform continual learning from data streams using models learned from scratch.
