Short Biography

I received my Diploma in Electrical Engineering from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETHZ), and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL). I am currently Full Professor at the School of Architecture, Civil, and Environmental Engineering and the Director of the Distributed Intelligent Systems and Algorithms Laboratory. Before joining EPFL I carried out research activities at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering of the ETHZ, at the Institute of Industrial Automation of the Spanish Research Council in Madrid, Spain, and at the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, U.S.A. More information about me can be found in the following:

Topics of Interest

My research interests focus on methods to design, control, model, and optimize distributed intelligent systems, including multi-robot systems, sensor and actuator networks, and intelligent vehicles. I am also interested in the understanding and control of mixed societies consisting of natural and artificial components. My research policy relies on iteratively closing the loop between theory and physical experiments using modeling and computational techniques. Our research output ranges from fundamental, methodological aspects to more applied contributions, often associated with application areas of interest in my school, especially in environmental and civil engineering. More information about the research of my laboratory can be found here.

Teaching and Service Activities

I am teaching at all levels (bachelor, master and doctoral) at EPFL. Additional details about our courses and student projects can be found here. I am involved in a variety of service activities within EPFL and worldwide; among those, I served for seven years as Director of the Doctoral Program in Robotics, Control, and Intelligent Systems.  Additional details can be found in my full CV.

Publications

The list of my publications is getting longer and longer as I essentially co-author all the publications produced by my laboratory. If you are looking for one specific publication, I suggest you to run a search on our open-access EPFL repository. If instead you would like to have an overview, here below you will find all the publications, listed in a yearly descending order.
