My field is Automatic Control and its applications.
I work on the automatic design of controllers from data by integrating control theory and data science and proposing methods that reduce control design to the solution of data-dependent convex programs.
Previously, I worked on networked and cyber-physical control systems, with applications to energy systems, for which distributed controllers were designed relying on a unifying passivity property that holds for electrical grids, district heating networks and data centres. I hold two patents for inventions related to these topics.
In the context of cyber-physical control systems I studied the effect of information quantisation and asynchronous information transmission including their resilience to denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, for which we proposed a now widely accepted model.
For my doctoral dissertation, I worked on the problem of detecting faults in nonlinear dynamical systems, solving the so-called Fundamental Problem of Residual Generation for nonlinear systems, based on the newly introduced differential-geometric concept of observability codistributions.
