I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics at the University of Waterloo.
Before joining Waterloo, I held postdoctoral fellowships at the FGV EMAp - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; GSSI - L'Aquila, Italy; RICAM - Linz, Austria; Imperial College London, UK and University of Bayreuth, Germany. I received my PhD in Mathematics at University Tor Vergata of Rome, Italy, jointly with a PhD in Applied Mathematics at the University of Lorraine - Metz, France.
My research interests aim at developing control and optimization strategies for complex dynamics, described by ordinary or partial differential systems of evolution, with applications to engineering and life sciences. Main areas of applications range from environment and sustainability, health and energy. Examples of applications include the optimization of utility distribution over networks, heat transfer phenomena in the presence of crack and fractures, control of epidemics, robotics for environmental monitoring and precision agriculture.
I am currently a member of the Technical Committee 2.6 - Distributed Parameter Systems - of the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC), and sit on the Advisory committee of the Cybersecurity and Privacy Institute (CPI) of the University of Waterloo. Besides, I am a member of the University of Waterloo's Water Institute (WI); the Waterloo Climate Institute (WCI); the Waterloo Institute for Sustainable Aeronautics (WISA); the Waterloo Data and Artificial Intelligence Institute (Waterloo.ai); and the Waterloo Institute for Sustainable Energy (WISE).
Research interests:
- Application of control methods to engineering and life sciences
-
Control of infinite-dimensional systems
-
Model Predictive Control for PDEs
-
Turnpike phenomena in optimal control problems
-
Feedback stabilization of hyperbolic systems
