Fields of expertise
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 head 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. Additional information can be found on my full CV.Mission
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.Awards
