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
member of the IFAC Technical Committee
on Discrete Event and Hybrid Systems; and of the IEEE Control Systems Society Conference Editorial Board.
She is currently member
of the editorial board of the following journals:
§
IEEE Transactions on
Automatic Control (associate editor)
§ IEEE Transactions on Control Systems
Technology (associate editor)
§ Nonlinear Analysis: Hybrid Systems (associate editor)
§ European Journal of Control (discussion editor)
Since January 2013 she is Editor of the Electronic
Publications of the IEEE Control Systems Society.
