Welcome!
My name is Pietro Lorenzetti, and I am a CNRS researcher in control engineering at CRAN, CNRS, Université de Lorraine (Nancy, France).
(Not to be confused with the famous painter lived in the XIV century.)
My research interests are many. Among them, there are:
Analysis/control of nonlinear systems;
Projected dynamical systems;
Integral control;
Singular perturbation methods;
Power systems stability/control.
More details on my research on my Google Scholar page.
Reach out!
I am always excited to share ideas, feel free to contact me at: pietro.lorenzetti [at] univ-lorraine [dot] fr.
