News

I am thrilled to announce that I got the award "ICRA 2025 Conference Editorial Board Outstanding Associate Editor".
Our paper "Experimental Validation of Sensitivity-Aware Trajectory Planning for a Quadrotor UAV Under Parametric Uncertainty" by A. Srour, S. Marcellini, T. Belvedere, M. Cognetti, A. Franchi and P. Robuffo Giordano got the best paper award at 2024 International Conference on Unmanned Aircraft Systems (ICUAS).

Short bio

I am a CPJ (Chaire de Professeur Junior) at LAAS-CNRS and the University of Toulouse.

I obtained my Ph.D. in Control Engineering from Sapienza – University of Rome in 2016. During my doctoral studies, I was a visiting researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen (2011) and the Robotics Institute – Carnegie Mellon University (2015).

After completing my Ph.D., I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Robotics Lab of Sapienza – University of Rome (2016–2017), followed by a postdoctoral position at CNRS, Irisa, and Inria Rennes (2017–2019). I then joined the University of Oulu as a postdoctoral researcher (2020) before serving as an Assistant Professor at Maynooth University, Ireland (2020-2022).

Research interests

Physical human-robot interaction (especially drones).
Active state estimation.
Shared control and autonomy for mobile robotics.
Whole-body motion planning.
Localization and control of multi-robot systems.

Editorial roles

I am currently serving as Associate Editor for IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), and International Conference on Unmanned Aircraft Systems, and I have organized two special issues for RA-L and three workshops at IROS and ICRA.
