Luca Furieri awarded SNSF Ambizione grant
Dr. Luca Furieri at EPFL’s School of Mechanical Engineering has been awarded an Ambizione grant for research at the intersection of machine learning and control theory.
The grant will enable Dr Furieri to pursue independent research on exploiting machine learning algorithms in safety-critical engineering infrastructures, including automated transportation systems and the continent-wide electricity grid. The awarded project is titled: “Reliable Machine Learning for Networked Control.”
