Stefania Monica

Stefania Monica is an Associate Professor at the Department of Engineering Sciences and Methods, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. She specializes in Artificial Intelligence, Multi-Agent Systems, Robotics, and Programming Languages. Her research focuses on topics such as agent interaction protocols, indoor positioning algorithms, and agent-oriented programming (Jadescript). She teaches courses on Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Web Technologies, and IoT. Recent work includes studies on stigmergic interactions in multi-agent systems and 3D indoor positioning using optimization algorithms. Her contributions span theoretical frameworks (e.g., kinetic models) and practical implementations (e.g., Jadescript language enhancements for robustness and interoperability).

Research interests emphasize synergy between AI and robotics, with applications in localization, swarm intelligence, and neural-symbolic learning. Teaching responsibilities include managing engineering courses on data science, information systems, and IoT development. She actively contributes to academic conferences and journals, curating special issues on computational logic and agent-based systems.
