Dr Gianmario Rinaldi

I am a Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering (Education & Research) at the Department of Engineering in the Faculty of Environment, Science and Economy. I am also the Faculty Advisor and the Academic Lead of the Formula Student Project. My research expertise is in control, estimation, and optimisation methods, with application to multienergy systems, power systems, and clean/autonomous vehicles.

At Exeter, I work in close contact with the Cooperative Robotics and Autonomous Networks (CRANE) laboratory, led by Prof Prathyush P Menon; the Control Systems Group; and the Centre for Future and Clean Mobility. My research is also aligned with the Research Theme Computational Modelling and Data Science.

I received a BEng in Energy Engineering (2014), a MSc in Electrical Engineering (2016), and a PhD in Control Systems Engineering (2020) from the University of Pavia, Italy.  I have been a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the former College of Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences (CEMPS) at the University of Exeter (2019-2021).
