Brief biography
|
Maria Prandini obtained the Laurea
degree in Electrical Engineering (Politecnico di Milano – 1994), and the
Ph.D. degree in Information Technology (Università
degli Studi di Brescia – 1998) with a dissertation on adaptive control
of stochastic systems.
After receiving her
Ph.D., she was a visiting postdoctoral researcher at the Department of
Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, University
of California at Berkeley, from 1998 to 2000. She also
held visiting positions at Delft University of Technology (1998), Cambridge University
(2000), UC Berkeley (2005), and ETH Zurich
(2006). From December 2002 to January 2011 she was Assistant Professor at the Dipartimento di Elettronica e Informazione of
the Politecnico di Milano.
Since February
2011 she is Asssociate Professor at the Dipartimento di Elettronica
e Informazione of the Politecnico di Milano.
She was work-package
leader in the EC-funded FP5 project HYBRIDGE
(2002-2005) and principal investigator in the EC-funded FP6 project iFly (2007-2011). She is
currently principal investigator in the EC-funded FP7 project MoVeS.
She is currently
associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, IEEE Transactions
on Control Systems Technology, and Nonlinear Analysis: Hybrid Systems; discussion editor of European
Journal of Control; member of the IFAC Technical Committee on Discrete
Event and Hybrid Systems; and member of the IEEE Control Systems Society Conference
Editorial Board.
