Short Biography

I received my B.Sc. in Industrial Engineering from the University of Trento in 2008 and my M.Sc. in 2010 in Mechatronics and in General Engineering from the University of Trento and the Ecole Centrale Paris respectively in the context of a dual degree agreement. I obtained my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the KU Leuven in 2015 under the supervision of Prof. Moritz Diehl. From November 2015 until December 2017, I have been a postdoc researcher at Chalmers University of Technology under the supervision of Prof. Paolo Falcone. From January 2018 until November 2021 I have been assistant professor at the IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca, where I became Associate Professor in December 2021.

My research interests include Reinforcement Learning, distributed MPC, economic MPC, optimal control and estimation of nonlinear dynamic systems, in particular for aerospace and automotive applications.
