From October 2015 to June 2019 he has been Assistant Professor (RTD-A) at the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of Cagliari, Italy, with a position founded by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR) under the 2014 call  “Scientific Independence of Young Researchers” (SIR). From July 2019 to June 2022 he has been tenure-track Assistant Professor (RTD-B)

He has published more than 86 papers in top international journals and conference proceedings and directed or participated to more than 13 european/national/regional research projects.

He is Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Automation Science and Engineering (T-ASE) since 2021 and IFAC Nonlinear Analysis: Hybrid Systems (NAHS) since 2023.

He is member of the Conference Editorial Board (CEB) for the IEEE Control Systems Society (CSS) since 2019. He serves as Associate Editor for the IEEE Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (CASE) since 2015, the IEEE American Control Conference (ACC) since 2019 and IEEE Conference on Decision and Control since 2020.

He is IEEE Senior Member and Officer (Secretary) for the IEEE Italy Section Chapter of the IEEE Control Systems Society. 

His area of expertise is the development of distributed control and coordination algorithms for large groups of autonomous systems that interact within a communication or sensing network and suffer from limited information availability and constrained resources. His research interests include consensus problems, gossip algorithms, multi-agent systems, multi-robot systems, nonsmooth analysis, distributed optimization and electric demand side management.
