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 Pietro Lorenzetti, the famous Italian painter.)
My research interests are many. Among them, there are:
analysis and control of nonlinear systems;
projected dynamical systems;
integral control;
singular perturbation methods;
power system stability and control.
More details can be found on my Google Scholar page.
I am always excited to share ideas and chat about research, feel free to contact me at: pietro.lorenzetti [at] univ-lorraine [dot] fr.
[May 2026] I have been awarded a Mourou–Strickland Mobility Program 2026 grant to visit J. Simpson-Porco at University of Toronto!
[Apr 2026] I will be visiting Yu Kawano at Hiroshima University (Japan) for two weeks, together with my pal Jeremie Kreiss from CRAN.
[Apr 2026] Our conference paper "Velocity tracking for autonomous railway-based urbanloop pods by contraction" has been accepted for the IFAC World Congress 2026. This is a joint work with W. Wang, J. Kreiss, R. Postoyan, L. Licitra and G. Lefebvre.
[Mar 2026] I will be teaching the master course Control and Optimization of Energy Systems at Université de Lorraine. The course focuses on the interaction between feedback control and optimization, showing how classical control mechanisms, e.g., integral control, can be interpreted and generalized through optimization principles. I will sparkle also some projected dynamical systems.. Can't help it!
[Mar 2026] Launching the website!
