Fabrizio Dabbene received the Laurea degree in Electrical Engineering in 1995 and the Ph.D. degree in Systems and Computer Engineering in 1999, both from Politecnico di Torino, Italy. He is currently holding a Senior Researcher position at the institute CNR IEIIT of the National Research Council of Italy, where he is the coordinator of the Systems Modeling & Control (SMC) Group. He has held visiting and research positions at The University of Iowa, at Penn State University and at the RAS (Russian Academy of Sciences) Institute of Control Science, Moscow.

His research interests include probabilistic and randomized methods for systems and control, robust control and identification of complex systems, convex optimization, dynamical social networks, space robotics, and precision agriculture. On these topics, he has published more than 150 research papers, which include more than forty articles published in international journals. He is co-author of the book Randomized Algorithms for Analysis and Control of Uncertain Systems, Springer-Verlag, published in two editions, and editor of the book Probabilistic and Randomized Methods for Design under Uncertainty, also published by Springer. He has been co-organizer of several invited sessions and special courses, and of three Conference Workshops at CDC-00, MSC-08 and MSC-10. He is a recipient of the Outstanding Paper Award from EurAgeng in 2010. He served as Associate Editor for Automatica and as Chair of the IFAC Technical Committee on Robust Control.
