I was born in Maglie (LE), Italy, in 1982. I received a Bachelor’s Degree (Laurea Triennale) in Computer Science Engineering, and a Master’s Degree (Laurea Specialistica) in Automation both from the University of Pavia (Italy), respectively in 2004 and 2006; and the Ph.D. degree in Automation, Robotics, and Telematics, with full marks and honors (summa cum laude), from the University of Seville (Spain) in 2011. My thesis, titled “Model Predictive Control for Systems with Changing Setpoints”, was supervised by Prof. Dr. Eduardo F. Camacho and Prof. Dr. Daniel Limon.
From September 2013 to December 2016 I have been Assistant Researcher at the Argentinean National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET), and from 2017 to 2020 I have been Associate Researcher at the same institution. From 2018 to 2020 I have also been Adjunct Professor at the National Technological University (UTN), Faculty of Reconquista (Santa Fe, Argentina).
