Research Activity

In the factory of the future, living and autonomous systems being more connected, a precise

knowledge of their states is required in real-time in readiness for prognosis and predictive maintenance.

Moreover, in order to improve their performances (disturbance rejection, parametric uncertainties

and system nonlinearities, energetic efficiency, path tracking), two steps are necessary: system

identification in real-time and optimal control (input/control reference generation and robust

control).

My scientific activities turn on the fractional derivative as a tool in modeling and in optimal control. I

am interested in the fundamental aspects bound for system theory (flatness), methodological aspects

bound for trajectory planning by multi-criteria optimization, methodological aspects bound for

modeling of fractional systems (thermal transfers, climate change, wind turbulence), methodological

aspects bound for dynamical system identification (closed-loop, multivariable systems, real-time),

innovating applications in the factory of the future: autonomous vehicle (2D/3D), medical application

(heat transfers in lung and viral spreading (COVID-19)), earth climate change, aeronautics (turbofan),

(machining and additive) manufacturing, and software developments of the CRONE toolbox/Matlab.
