Advisor: Any faculty member can act as research director
Keywords: Control systems, Dynamics of complex systems, Operations research and discrete optimization, Planning and management of environmental systems, Robotics and industrial automation
The research in this area is devoted to Control Systems Science, Systems Theory, Ecology, and Operations Research. Despite the rich variety of topics, both theoretical and application-oriented, a unifying system level viewpoint is generally adopted, which enables the analysis, the management, and the design of complex systems through the powerful theoretical tools of mathematical modeling. A significant part of the basic and applied research activity, together with advanced teaching, is supported by the experimental facilities available in the laboratories. The section's research activities can be grouped in the following lines: - Control systems: focused on Control design, Model identification and data analysis, Automation of vehicles and transportation systems, Automation of energy systems. - Dynamics of complex systems: focused on Nonlinear dynamical systems, Bifurcation analysis, Emerging collective dynamics in networks of systems. - Operations research and discrete optimization: focused on Mathematical programming, Combinatorial optimization, Stochastic programming, Robust optimization, Bi-level programming and Continuous approximation models. - Planning and management of environmental systems: focused on Mathematical models for quantitative analysis, Computer-based decision support quantitative analysis, Computer-based decision support tools, Sustainable use of resources. - Robotics and industrial automation: focused on Mechatronics, Robotics, Process modeling, simulation and control, Automation of manufacturing systems and industrial plants.
