Brief Bio
Giuseppina C. Gini, after the “Laurea” degree in Physics from the University of Milano (Italy), in 1972 joined Politecnico di Milano (Italy) as assistant professor. She had various appointments at the hand-eye robotics project at SAIL, and at the NMR Laboratory of the Stanford University (CA, USA). Since 1987, as Associate Professor at the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering (DEIB) of Politecnico di Milano, she has been responsible for the Robotics and Cognitive Robotics courses in the graduate school, member of the Ph.D. board for Information Engineering, and fellow of ASP, the graduate school of excellence of Politecnico di Milano and Politecnico di Torino. Her research themes are at the intersection of robotics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence both symbolic and neural. She has been responsible for the design and implementation of advanced robot languages, simulators, planners, and of bioinspired models of walking, grasping, vision, memory, and robot learning. She has been the principal investigator in more than 30 European, NATO, bilateral and national research projects. She also served as expert and reviewer for various European research programs and working groups, was a National Delegate in the EU COST Action on Knowledge Exploration in Science and Technology, and member of the European Commission assigning the Giralt PhD Award for extraordinary contributions in robotics. ...

Antonella Ferrara
University of Pavia
Italy

Brief Bio
Antonella Ferrara received the M.Sc. degree (Cum Laude and printing honours) in Electronic Engineering and the Ph.D. degree in Electronic Engineering and Computer Science from the University of Genoa, Italy, in 1987 and 1992, respectively. Since 2005, she has been Full Professor of Automatic Control at the University of Pavia, Italy. Her research activities are mainly in the area of nonlinear control, with a special emphasis on control of uncertain systems via sliding modes generation, and application to road traffic, automotive systems, electro-mobility, robotics, and power systems. She is author and co-author of more than 450 publications including more than 160 journal papers, 2 monographs (published by Springer Nature and SIAM, respectively) and one edited book (IET). She was/is Principal Investigator and National Coordinator in several projects funded by the European Union and by the Italian Ministry for University and Research. She is currently serving as Associate Editor of Automatica, and Senior Editor of the IEEE Open Journal of Intelligent Transportation Systems. She served as Senior Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Vehicles, as well as Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology, IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, IEEE Control Systems Magazine and International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control. Antonella Ferrara is the Chair of the EUCA Conference Editorial Board and the Director of Operations of the IEEE Control Systems Society. She is a member of the IEEE TC on Automotive Control, IEEE TC on Smart Cities, IEEE TC on Variable Structure Systems, IFAC TC on Nonlinear Control Systems, IFAC TC on Transportation Systems, and IFAC Technical Committee on Intelligent Autonomous Vehicles. She is also serving as the Vice-Chair for Industry of the IFAC TC on Nonlinear Control Systems (2024-2026) and is a member of the IFAC Industry Board. She is also a member of the IFAC Conference Board, by virtue of her appointment as one of the two Program Chairs of the 24th IFAC Word Congress to be held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, in 2029. Among several awards, she was a co-recipient of the 2020 IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology Outstanding Paper Award. She is a Fellow of IEEE and Fellow of IFAC. ... More >>
