Claudia Califano

Claudia Califano is an Associate Professor at the Department of Computer, Control and Management Engineering, University of Rome "La Sapienza". Her work focuses on nonlinear systems, time-delay systems, and digital control with applications in biomedical systems and multi-agent networks. She has held editorial roles at the IMA Mathematical Control and Information Journal and IFAC World Congress, and served as Vice Chair for Education in IFAC Technical Committee Nonlinear Systems.

• B.Sc. and Ph.D. in Systems Engineering from University of Rome "La Sapienza"

Research Interests:
Her research spans geometric control theory for nonlinear systems, dynamic feedback linearization, and time-delay systems. Recent work includes deep learning applications for non-invasive medical diagnostics and consensus protocols for multi-agent systems with communication delays.

Scientific Contributions:
Her publications emphasize geometric methods for nonlinear control, integrability conditions, and observer design. Key themes include accessibility-observability duality, canonical forms, and applications to diabetic gastroparesis modeling.
