Gennaro Notomista

Gennaro Notomista is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON, Canada. Prior to joining University of Waterloo, he was a post-doctoral researcher at the CNRS/Inria/IRISA, Rennes, France. His main research interests lie at the intersection of design and control of robotic systems for long-duration autonomy with applications to environmental monitoring.

He received a B.S. degree in mechanical engineering from the Università degli Studi di Napoli “Federico II”, Napoli, Italy, in 2012, a M.Eng. degree in automotive engineering from the Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt, Ingolstadt, Germany, in 2015, a M.S. degree in mechanical engineering from the Università degli Studi di Napoli “Federico II”, Napoli, Italy, in 2016, a M.S. degree in mathematics and a Ph.D. degree in robotics from the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA, USA in 2019 and 2020, respectively.

Dr. Notomista is a Fulbright Scholar and was the recipient of the Alumni Small Grant (2020) and the IEEE ARSO Best Paper Award (2022). He is an IEEE member, associate editor of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, and guest associate editor of Autonomous Robots.
