IEEE Transactions on Control of Network Systems Best Paper Award

To recognize (at most two) outstanding paper(s) published in the IEEE Transactions on Control
of Network Systems.

Historical Background:

Established in 2015.

Prize:

A photo-engrave plaque for each recipient and, for one recipient, travel expenses to the CDC (round trip restricted minimal coach air fare, conference registration and up to 4 conference-rate hotel nights for a 3-day conference, and up to 5 conference-rate hotel nights for a 4-day conference).

Funding:

Funded by the IEEE Control Systems Society.

Presentation:

At most one (1) award is presented annually at the Awards Ceremony of the CSS.

Basis for Judging:

The basis for judging shall be originality, potential impact on the foundations of network systems, importance and practical significance in applications, and clarity.

Eligibility:

Papers published in the IEEE Transactions on Control of Network Systems during the two calendar years preceding the year of the award. Once a paper receives the IEEE Transactions on Control of Network Systems Best Paper Award, it is no longer eligible to be considered for this award in subsequent years. The paper publication date is determined by the journal volume date (not the online publication date).

Nomination Details:

A nomination letter and up to 3 additional supporting letters (maximum of 4 letters) describing the excellence of the nominated paper should be submitted on the IEEE Control Systems Society Awards nomination system, http://awards.paperplaza.net/ by May 15. Material sent by email or via regular mail will NOT be considered. A nomination shall include:

A letter from the nominator describing the outstanding features of the paper.
Details for up to three additional supporting individuals who are familiar with the paper who have agreed to provide a reference letter.
An electronic copy of the paper itself

Nominations and reference letters are due by May 15 and must be submitted using the IEEE Control Systems Society Awards Nomination system at awards.paperplaza.net.

Biography

I received the Laurea Triennale (B.Sc Degree) and the Laurea Specialistica (M.Sc Degree) in Telecommunications Engineering from the University of Padova, Italy, in 2005 and 2007, respectively. I received a Ph.D. in Information Engineering from the Department of Information Engineering, University of Padova, Italy, in 2011. My advisors were Prof. Silvano Pupolin (University of Padova) and Prof. Georgios B. Giannakis (University of Minnesota). From January 2009 to September 2010, I was a visiting scholar at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Minnesota, USA, within the group of Prof. Georgios B. Giannakis. From January 2011 to November 2014 I was a Postdoctoral Associate at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Digital Technology Center of the University of Minnesota, USA.

I am an Assistant Professor within the Department of Electrical, Computer, and Energy Engineering (ECEE) at the University of Colorado Boulder. I am also a member of the Affiliate Faculty Program of the Department of Applied Mathematics (APPM) at the University of Colorado Boulder.

I hold a courtesy position as a Visiting Professor at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). Prior to joining the University of Colorado Boulder, from December 2014 to August 2018, I was a Senior Scientist at NREL. My research efforts were on developing optimization and control algorithms, with particular emphasis on distributed architectures for power and energy systems. I was the Principal Investigator of a project funded by the DOE Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-e) under the program Network Optimized Distributed Energy Systems (NODES).
