About me
I am leading the research group on Control and Automation at inspire AG, a strategic partner and technology transfer unit of ETH Zurich, focused on advanced manufacturing and production innovation. My group specializes in optimization, data-driven methods, control, and automation for developing and applying novel approaches to industry.
My research focuses on control theory, systems design, and optimization, with particular emphasis on their applications in robotics, cyber-physical systems, industrial processes, and additive manufacturing.
