Current position
I am a Post-doctoral Researcher at the Centre of Excellence for Research DEWS, University of L'Aquila, Italy. At the moment, my research is mainly focused on formal methods for analysis and control of networked systems.
Education
After getting my high school diploma (2001), I received my Bachelor of Engineering degree (summa cum laude) and my Master of Engineering degree (summa cum laude) in Control Systems and Computer Science, from the University of L'Aquila (Italy), in 2004 and 2007, respectively. In March 2011, I got my Doctoral Degree in Electrical and Information Engineering from the University of L'Aquila, Italy (advisor: Prof. Maria Domenica Di Benedetto).
Research abroad
I spent six months in 2006-2007 at the Ford Research Center Aachen (Germany), working on Vehicle Control, for my Master Thesis. During my PhD Program, I have visited important universities and research institutes. In the academic year 2008-2009, I was a short-time visitor at the University of California, Berkeley (USA), working on hybrid modeling of two-people interaction. In 2009-10, I also spent nine months as a Visiting Research Scholar at the University of California, Santa Barbara (USA), in the group of Prof. Joao P. Hespanha, working on stochastic optimization, randomized algorithms and game theory, with application to the path planning of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
Interests
My research is focused on modeling and control of hybrid and networked systems, nonlinear systems, game theory, randomized algorithms. Applications of my work are in Vehicle Control, Path Planning problems, Cognitive Radio Networks, Sensor Networks, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).
