Research

Keywords: Systems and control; networks; cyber-physical and cyber-social systems; non-smooth and hybrid systems; opinion dynamics; social networks; robotic teams; sensor networks; animal groups

Full list (possibly a bit outdated) of publications and preprints, including:

The closed loop between opinion formation and personalised recommendations (with W.S. Rossi and J. W. Polderman)
Consensus and disagreement: the role of quantized behaviours in opinion dynamics (with F. Ceragioli)
The observability radius of networks (with G. Bianchin, A. Gasparri, F. Pasqualetti)
Ergodic randomized algorithms and dynamics over networks (with C. Ravazzi, R. Tempo, and H. Ishii)
Message passing optimization of harmonic influence centrality (with L. Vassio, F. Fagnani and A. Ozdaglar)

Some time ago I also prepared a selection of presentations and papers by topic
