Paolo Scarabaggio

Paolo Scarabaggio is an Assistant Professor (RTDA) at the Decision and Control Laboratory of Polytechnic University of Bari, Italy. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical and Information Engineering from the same institution and completed a research visit at the Delft Center for Systems and Control, Technical University of Delft in 2019. His academic work spans multiple high-impact publications across IEEE journals and conferences, with a focus on interdisciplinary applications of control theory.

His research interests center around modeling, optimization, game theory, and control of complex multi-agent systems, with practical applications in energy distribution systems, social networks, warehouse automation, and collaborative robotics. His work demonstrates strong interdisciplinary connections between theoretical control concepts and real-world industrial applications, particularly in Industry 4.0 contexts.

Dr. Scarabaggio's publications reveal a consistent trajectory of increasingly sophisticated applications of game theory and optimization techniques to emerging challenges in energy systems, logistics automation, and human-robot interaction. His research shows particular strength in developing mathematically rigorous frameworks that address practical constraints in real-world systems.
