Antonello Venturino

I am Assistant Professor (RTD-A) at the Università della Calabria, where I focus on autonomous vehicles, resilient control, and distributed algorithms for control and state estimation.
I obtained my Bachelor's Degree in Computer Engineering in 2016 and my Master's Degree in Automation Engineering summa cum laude in 2019 from the Università della Calabria (Italy). During my studies, I spent a period as a student researcher at Concordia University in Montreal (Canada).
In 2022, I earned a Ph.D. in Automatic Control from CentraleSupélec and ONERA, within the Université Paris-Saclay (France). During my Ph.D., I also completed an international mobility period at the Universidad de Sevilla (Spain).
I have also worked as a researcher at the NATO STO CMRE. In addition to my research activities, I offer consultancy as a Software Engineer, providing expertise in software development and system integration.

Curriculum

Activities

Research

I am a researcher in Automatic Control, with a focus on distributed state estimation and the development of advanced algorithms to control fleets of autonomous vehicles, with applications in uncertain and hostile environments. I have experience in the analysis and mitigation of cyber-attacks on cyber-physical systems, and in designing resilient control strategies to enhance the safety and effectiveness of autonomous operations.

Consultancy

Software development and system integration for banking services, electronic payments, warehouse management and invoicing, and e-commerce.

Teaching

I have experience in teaching and supervising Master's level students in Automation Engineering. Currently, I teach the course on Cognitive Mobile Robotics at the University of Calabria. Previously, I taught lectures and labs on Automatic Control and Dynamic Multi-Agent Systems at CentraleSupélec, where I also led practical research projects, including the development of distributed control algorithms for autonomous vehicles using Turtlebot 3 with the ROS (Robot Operating System) framework. I have supervised numerous projects and internships, supporting students in developing their theoretical and practical skills in simulation environments and real-world applications.
