Lorenzo Fagiano received the Ph.D. degree in information and systems engineering from the Politecnico di Torino, Italy, in 2009. From 2010 to 2013, he held positions as a Marie Curie Fellow at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and ETH Zurich. From 2013 to 2016, he was a Scientist at ABB Switzerland, Corporate Research. He is currently Full Professor of automation and control engineering at the Politecnico di Milano. His research interests include airborne wind energy and constrained estimation and control. On these topics he has co-authored about 160 publications in peer-reviewed international journal papers, book chapters and conference proceedings. Dr. Fagiano is the recipient of the 2019 European Control Award, the Mission Innovation Champion Award 2019 for Italy, and two Marie Curie Individual Fellowships (2009 and 2012).
