Master level (Laurea Magistrale) thesis proposal

Theses are available on the following topics:

Randomized methods for system analysis and design 

Multi-agent decision making, including distributed optimization

Verification and control of hybrid systems

The work is motivated by applications in the energy and transportation domains, within EC funded projects and in collaboration with international universities/researchers.
