Educational Details

Laura Celentano earned her M.S. Laurea Degree (summa cum laude) in Computer Engineering, specializing in Automatic Control and Robotics, from the University of Naples Federico II in 2003. Her master’s thesis focused on advanced robotics, specifically the design of a robot for environmental monitoring and fire intervention in road and railway tunnels. She pursued her Ph.D. in Automation and Computer Science Engineering at the same institution, with a major in Automatic Control and System Analysis, completing her degree in 2006. Her Ph.D. thesis was titled “Modeling and Control of Rigid and Flexible Mechanical Systems.”

Research Experience

Currently, Dr. Celentano is an Associate Professor of Automation and Control at the University of Naples Federico II. She has also been involved in teaching at the University of Naples “Parthenope” and the Italian Air Force Academy, Naples, covering topics such as Systems Theory, Fundamentals of Dynamical Systems, Modeling and Simulation, and Automation of Navigation Systems. Beyond academia, she has collaborated extensively with public and private organizations, including projects funded by the European Union, the Italian Ministry of University and Research, and regional initiatives.

She is an active science communicator, contributing to radio programs and scientific journals. Dr. Celentano holds various editorial roles, including Associate Editor for several prestigious journals such as The Journal of the Franklin Institute, IEEE Access, and IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics. She is also a Senior Member of IEEE and a Full Member of the Sigma Xi scientific honor society. Notably, she has chaired and organized numerous international conferences and scientific events.

Research Interest

Dr. Celentano’s research interests encompass the design of versatile, fast, and robust control systems for both linear and nonlinear uncertain systems. She focuses on methods for stability analysis and stabilization of MIMO and discrete-time systems, with applications in mechatronic and transportation systems (e.g., cars, trains, ships), rescue and security robotics, and tele-monitoring systems. She is also exploring brain-computer interfaces for disabled individuals and deep learning techniques for medical applications, including myeloid leukemia. Her work extends into the modeling and control of rigid and flexible mechanical systems and smart sensors and actuators.
