Antonio Vicino is Professor Control Systems at the Dept. of Information Engineering and Mathematical Sciences, University of Siena (Italy), where he covered the position of Head of the Department from 1996 to 1999 and Dean of the Engineering Faculty from 1999 to 2005. In 2000 he founded the Center for Complex Systems Studies of the University of Siena, where he covered the position of Director from 1999 to 2012. From 2016 to 2021 he was the Director of the PhD Program in Information Engineering and Science at the same University. From 2019 to 2023 he covered the position of President of the Italian University Council.
He is the author of more than 350 technical publications; co-author of the book ‘Homogeneous Polynomial Forms for Robustness Analysis of Uncertain Systems’, Springer-Verlag, 2009; co-editor of several books and guest editor of several special issues on robustness in identification and control. He has worked on stability analysis of nonlinear systems, time series analysis and prediction, robust control of uncertain systems. His present interests include identification of nonlinear systems, energy systems and smart grids, systems biology and applied system modelling.
He has served as Associate Editor or Associate Editor at Large for several journals like IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II and Automatica. He is Fellow of the IFAC and Life Fellow of the IEEE.
