Personal Information
I am a Full Professor of Computer Engineering at DTU Compute, Technical University of Denmark (DTU), and a Visiting Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at Mälardalen University (MDU).
My research lies at the intersection of automatic control, computing systems, and cyber-physical systems. I develop theory, methods, and tools for engineering software-intensive systems that are predictable, adaptive, and resource-aware under uncertainty. A central theme of my work is the use of feedback control, model predictive control, optimization, and formal reasoning to design computing systems that can regulate their own behavior while meeting performance, timing, reliability, safety, and resource-efficiency objectives. My work spans self-adaptive and autonomic software systems, real-time and embedded systems, cloud/edge and distributed computing, robotics, industrial automation, and resilient cyber-physical systems.
I have served as Scientific Advisor for different companies, including ABB (2019–2024) and Zero Point Technologies (2024–2025). I was a QUALIFICA Fellow (2023–2025) at the Institute for Software Technology and Software Engineering (ITIS) at the University of Málaga, and an ISA Visiting Professor (2026) at the Institute of Advanced Studies at Alma Mater Studiorum – University of Bologna. From 2024 to October 2026, I served as Scientific Leader for Applied AI within the AI@MDU initiative, steering the integration of artificial intelligence in practical applications.
Before joining DTU, I held postdoctoral positions at the Politecnico di Milano, where I worked with Maria Prandini, and at Lund University, where I worked with Karl-Erik Årzén and was a member of the Lund Center for Control of Complex Engineering Systems (LCCC).
I received my PhD from the Politecnico di Milano, where my research focused on model simplification techniques for continuous and discontinuous systems under the supervision of Alberto Leva. My PhD thesis is available here.
