Supervisor(s): Prof. Marco Gabiccini, prof. Alessio Artoni
PhD Bio:
Martino Gulisano is a PhD student in Industrial Engineering at the University of Pisa, where he also earned his MSc in Mechanical Engineering in 2024. His research focuses on vehicle stability, particularly within integrated vehicle-with-driver systems. He develops algorithms for efficiently estimating the region of attractions and safety sets, defining the conditions under which such dynamical systems remain stable and safe over time. Additionally, his work explores optimal trajectory planning for motorsport applications, incorporating uncertainty modelling and robustness requirements to enhance controllability and handling of planned trajectories. Ultimately, his goal is to improve vehicle performance and safety through advanced mathematical modelling and optimization techniques.
Abstract of the PhD project:
Vehicle dynamics is a crucial research area for safety and performance. This PhD project focuses on model-based analysis of vehicle stability, including advanced techniques for the estimation of regions of attraction for driver-or controller-operated vehicles, and on planning high-performance trajectories that respect stability and drivability constraints. By combining nonlinear dynamics, control theory, and numerical optimization, the research aims to provide systematic tools to assess stability and support vehicle control in both road and motorsport applications.
Teaching experience: Tutoring in “Meccanica dei Robot”
