PhD Conference and PhD Expo

PhD Conference and PhD Expo

Today I attended the PhD Conference and the PhD Expo at the University of Udine.
The PhD Conference involves all the PhD students of the doctoral program I have just completed, who give a short seminar to illustrate their research progresses and hurdles, while the PhD Expo has been recently extended to the whole University, and all the PhD students of the University of Udine can participate and present their research at a poster session, open to industry.

It was a great occasion to greet all my friends at the University of Udine before moving to Lund.
It was quite weird for me to attend without having talks to give and posters to present! I had the chance to focus on my colleagues’ presentations and posters: excellent sessions and interesting research! Good luck to everybody with your PhD projects!

This morning I had my PhD thesis defense, at the University of Udine.
PhD Thesis Defense Presentation
The presentation is available here. I thank the whole Committee for the positive evaluation, and my supervisor Franco Blanchini for his guidance and his support during this learning journey.

What next?

I will stay at the University of Udine until the end of May as a research collaborator, involved in the PoCN project on “Advanced manipulation systems for object orientation in production lines”.
Then, in June I will move to the LCCC (Lund Center for Control of Complex Engineering Systems) Linnaeus Center at the Department of Automatic Control, Lund University: a new adventure in my learning journey!
