About

I hold an MSc degree in Automation Engineering from the University of Naples, where I graduated under the supervision of Mario di Bernardo and Davide Liuzza.

Since February 2014, I am a PhD student in the Automatic Control Department and ACCESS Linnaeus Center in the School of Electrical Engineering at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology, under the supervision of Karl H. Johansson and Dimos V. Dimarogonas.

Since July 2017, I am serving as a member of the PhD Chapter board at KTH.

From September 2017 to December 2017, I was a visiting researcher at the University of Pennsylvania, under the supervision of Prof. George J. Pappas and Kostantinos Gatsis.

Current research interests:

• multi-agent systems analysis and control;
• hybrid systems analysis and control.
