I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical, Computer, and Energy Engineering (ECEE) at the University of Colorado Boulder, and an affiliate faculty of the Department of Applied Mathematics. I received my P.h.D in Information Engineering from the University of Padova, Italy, in 2011. I was a Postdoctoral Associate at the University of Minnesota from 2011 to 2014. I started my appointment as an assistant professor at the University of Colorado Boulder in 2018. 

My background is in the broad areas of Optimization Theory, Learning, and Control. The objective of current research efforts is to advance theory, algorithms, and analysis for decision systems. The current focus is on online optimization and data-enabled optimization of network and dynamical systems. Application domains include power and energy systems and autonomous systems.
