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.
