By exploiting the information sharing among the spatially distributed systems and only neigh bour-to-neighbour communication\, cooperative control strategies are curre ntly gaining momentum since they represent a superior alternative in terms of flexibility\, reliability and scalability with respect to conventional centralized control approaches. Despite the benefits\, the control over c ommunication networks poses several issues\, such as time delays\, cyber-a ttacks and waste of communication/computation resources\, including worklo ad between controllers and related actuators. Whatโ€™s more\, modern distr ibuted controllers implementation only permits digital information dissemi nation\, which leads to the need of moving from continuous-time to sampled -data control design\, where signal sampling\, control updates and data tr ansmission only happen at discrete-time instants.

During her career\, she was also visiting researcher at Tel Aviv University (TAU)\, Israel. Her research i nterests include the design of distributed control strategies for multi-ag ent systems\, particularly in the presence of communication issues such as delays\, cyber-attacks\, and link failures. She applies these theoretical frameworks to various real-world domains\, ranging from Smart Grids to In telligent Transportation Systems.
