Venanzio Cichella, Ph.D.
I received my MS in automation engineering in 2011 from the University of Bologna under the supervision of Professor Lorenzo Marconi. I got my PhD in mechanical engineering in 2018 from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, majoring in planning and control of multiple autonomous systems, where I worked in the Advanced Controls Research Labs directed by my PhD adviser Naira Hovakimyan. Before that I spent 9 months at the TU Delft as an Erasmus student, and 2 years at the CAVR lab, Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, CA, as a visiting researcher under the supervision of Professors Isaac Kaminer and Vladimir Dobrokhodov. I am currently an associate professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Iowa.
