Michele Cucuzzella, PhD
I define myself as a team-worker, I like challenges, I'm curious about novelty and I'm constantly looking for scientific discussions and exchange of ideas.
My research activities are mainly in the area of Systems & Control, focusing on nonlinear control with application to the energy domain and smart systems.
Since 2021, I am Assistant Professor of Systems & Control at the University of Pavia, Italy, and Guest Researcher at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands.
