Zardini appointed Assistant Professor at MIT
Gioele Zardini, doctoral student with Professor Emilio Frazzoli at the Institute of Dynamic Systems and Control at the Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering at ETH Zurich, has been appointed Assistant Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Zardini completed both his Bachelor’s and Master’s studies in Mechanical Engineering at ETH Zurich. In his doctoral studies, he focuses on computational tools to formulate and solve interconnected system design problems, with applications to autonomy and future mobility systems.
The Swiss native is planning on working as a postdoc at Stanford University, before moving on to MIT in the fall of 2024, where he will start as Assistant Professor at the Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems (LIDS), the Institute for Data, Systems and Society (IDSS), and the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE).
Zardini’s research at MIT will continue pushing the boundaries of compositional, interdisciplinary system design, promoting sustainability across scales, focusing on autonomy, mobility, energy, and societal systems at large.
