Andrea Martinelli

Academic bio

I am currently a Lecturer of the CAS ETH in Applied Automation Technology , with the Automatic Control Laboratory (IfA).

I obtained the BSc degree in Management Engineering in 2015 and the MSc degree with honours in Control Engineering in 2017, both from Politecnico di Milano. In 2017, I worked at the Laboratoire d'Automatique (LA) of EPFL to develop my MSc thesis under the guidance of Prof. G. Ferrari-Trecate. In 2018, I worked as research assistant with Prof. R. Scattolini at the Systems & Control Group of Politecnico di Milano. In 2024 I obtained my PhD degree from the Automatic Control Laboratory at ETH Zurich supervised by Prof. J. Lygeros. 

Research interests

I am interested in investigating theoretical and practical aspects of control theory and dynamical systems, including:

• Optimal control, reinforcement learning and approximate dynamic programming

• Interconnected dynamical systems, renewable energy distribution models
