Claudio Gaz

Claudio Gaz is a Senior Lecturer in Mechatronics, Control, and Autonomous Systems at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Computing and the Environment, Kingston University London. He holds a PhD in Automation and Operational Research (2016) and a Master's in Control Engineering with top marks (2011) from Sapienza Università di Roma, and was awarded the French national qualification as maître de conférences (class 61) in 2019. His research spans control systems, robotics, and mathematical modeling, with a focus on industrial manipulators (e.g., KUKA LWR, Universal Robots UR10) and biological processes like glucose homeostasis.

• Recent work involves dynamic parameter identification for collaborative robots and sensorless force feedback in medical robotics.
• He has collaborated with institutions such as Sapienza Università di Roma, CNR-IASI (Italian National Research Council), and Airbus Group.

His scientific awards include:

• Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA)

. Gaz has contributed to journals and conferences in robotics, control theory, and biomedical modeling, with a strong emphasis on real-time adaptive algorithms and safety in physical human-robot interaction.
