I am an Assistant Professor at the School of Computer Science, The University of Birmingham, UK, and a member of the Socio-Technical Systems research group. Since 2022, I have also been a Senior IEEE Member in the area of Engineering, and Computer Science and Information Technology. Prior to my current position, I was a Senior Scientist at the Automatic Control Laboratory (IFA), Department of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering, at ETH Zürich in Switzerland. From 2017 to 2020, I was first a Postdoctoral and then a Senior Researcher at the Division of Decision and Control Systems, Department of Intelligent Systems, at KTH Royal Institute of Technology.

I am passionate about developing verifiable and deployable AI-driven methodologies to enable Cyber-Physical Systems autonomy. This primarily includes studying fundamental aspects of increasingly dynamic, interactive, and context-varying CPSs, ranging from stability, safety, robustness, and performance specification to software-hardware integration, hierarchical decision making, managing components' interactions, and controlling the macroscopic and microscopic behaviours of such large-scale and safety-critical systems.

My current research interests include:

• Safe & robust networked cyber-physical systems
• Multi-stake-holder decision-making and co-design theory
• Distributed control over communication networks
• Stochastic processes and data-driven models
• Cooperative sensing and shared perception

My main application areas are robotics and smart transportation systems.
