Assistant Professor | Electrical and Computer Engineering, Faculty of Engineering

Dr. Gennaro Notomista's main research interests lie at the intersection of design and control of robotic systems for long-duration autonomy with applications to environmental monitoring. Prior to joining University of Waterloo, he was a post-doctoral researcher at the CNRS/Inria/IRISA, Rennes, France. He received the Ph.D. degree in robotics from the Georgia Institute of Technology (Atlanta, GA, USA) in 2020. Dr. Notomista is a Fulbright Scholar and was the recipient of the Alumni Small Grant (2020) and the IEEE ARSO Best Paper Award (2022). 

Graduate Supervision: 

Dr. Notomista’s research group explores novel ecological and sustainable mechanical and control design patterns to allow teams of robots to be deployed in long-term environmental monitoring applications.
