in nonlinear control theory. In 1998, he was appointed associate professor at
the Department of Electronics and Information of the Politecnico of Milano
(Italy).
He has been a visiting lecturer in “Nonlinear Control” in several universities,
including ETH-Zurich (1995–1996); Terza University of Rome (1996); Rice
University, Houston (1999); Kepler University, Linz (2000); SUPELEC,
Paris (2001).
His research interests are focused on mathematical control theory and con-
trol applications, with special emphasis for the problems of discontinuous
stabilization, robust control, and adaptive control.
He is the author of more than 40 journal papers, 15 book chapters, and
over 100 papers in refereed conference proceedings. He is co-editor of a book
Modeling and Control of Mechanical Systems.
He is associate editor of Systems and Control Letters, Automatica, the
International Journal of Control, the European Journal of Control, and the
IEEE Transactions Automatic Control. He has also served in the IPC of various
international conferences.
