The Systems and Control area of DEIB counts more than 40 faculty staff members (full professors, associate professors, assistant professors) and more than 100 temporary researchers, including PhD students, post-docs and research collaborators. Systems and Control area is devoted to teaching and research in various fields related to control system science and engineering, industrial automation, robotics, systems theory, environmental systems, 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. As for teaching, the members of this Research Area are responsible for over one hundred courses mainly offered by the School of Industrial and Information Engineering. Systems and Control members also have leading responsibilities in the Automation Engineering Program and in the Environmental and Land Planning Engineering Program. A significant part of the basic and applied research activity, together with advanced teaching, is supported by the experimental facilities available in 4 laboratories.
