Postdoctoral Researcher
I got my PhD on April 24th, 2020 in Control Theory at DyCon ERC Advanced Grant project. I have worked on Controllability of Partial Differential Equations under constraints. Currently, my research is focused on the Turnpike Property in Optimal Control Theory.

Master’s Thesis. “Long time behaviour of Optimal Control problems and the Turnpike Property”

Description. The dissertation is devoted to the the study of the so called “Turnpike Property” in Optimal Control Theory, i.e. we show the convergence of Non-Stationary Optimal Control Problems to the corresponding Stationary one as the time horizon T→+∞. Actually we prove an exponential convergence far away from the initial point and the terminal point. We analyse both the Finite Dimensional and Infinite Dimensional Linear Quadratic Case with some controllability and observability assumptions. Furthermore, we extend our analysis to a Finite Dimensional NonLinear Convex Case, with controllability and observability assumptions as well.
