About me

Dr. Damiano Rotondo was born in Francavilla Fontana, Italy, in 1987. He received the B.S. degree (with honors) from the Second University of Naples, Italy, the M.S. degree (with honors) from the University of Pisa, Italy, and the Ph.D. degree (with honors) from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Spain in 2008, 2011 and 2016, respectively. He has visited the KIOS Research Center for Intelligent Systems and Networks, University of Cyprus, Nicosia, Cyprus, from January to March 2013, the Research Center for Automatic Control of Nancy (CRAN) at the University of Lorraine, Nancy, France, from March 2014 to July 2014 and the Centre for Autonomous Marine Operations and Systems (AMOS) at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) from March 2015 to July 2015. From May 2016 until April 2017, he has been an ERCIM postdoctoral researcher at AMOS/NTNU (Norway). From May 2017 until January 2018, he has been a postdoctoral researcher at the Research Centre for Supervision, Safety and Automatic Control (CS2AC) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. From February 2018 until January 2020, he has been a Juan de la Cierva fellow at the Institut de Robòtica i Informàtica Industrial (IRI) at the Spanish Council for Scientific Research (CSIC). Since February 2020, he is an Associate Professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (IDE) of the University of Stavanger (UiS), Norway. His main research interests include gain-scheduled control systems, fault detection and isolation (FDI) and fault tolerant control (FTC) of dynamic systems. He has published several papers in international conference proceedings and scientific journals.
