Antonio Ferramosca

Antonio Ferramosca was born in Maglie (LE), Italy, in 1982. He is a Full Professor at the Department of Management, Information and Production Engineering of the University of Bergamo (Italy).

He received his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Computer Science Engineering, both from the University of Pavia (Italy), in 2004 and 2006 respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in Engineering, with full marks and honors (summa cum laude), from the University of Seville (Spain) in 2011. His thesis, titled “Model Predictive Control for Systems with Changing Setpoints”, was supervised by Prof. Dr. Eduardo F. Camacho and Prof. Dr. Daniel Limon.

He was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Argentine National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET), (from 2012 to 2013), and Research Associate at the same institution (from 2013 to 2020). As a guest researcher, he visited the Department of Chemical Engineering of the University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. James B. Rawlings (from August 2009 to February 2010), the Department of Process Control of the Institute of Technological Development for the Chemical Industry (INTEC, CONICET), Santa Fe, Argentina (from September 2010 to March 2011), and the Department of Systems Engineering and Automation, of the University of Seville, Spain (from March 2015 to July 2015).

He is the author and co-author of more than 90 publications including book chapters, journal papers, industrial reports, and conference papers. His research interests include Model Predictive Control, Artificial Pancreas, distributed control, control of biological systems, stability, invariance, and robust control.
