Overview
Dr. Angeli's research focus is on stability, performance and control of nonlinear systems. His research interests range in the following areas:
-
Economic Model Predictive Control
-
Stability of Nonlinear Systems
-
Chemical Reaction Networks Theory
-
Systems Biology
-
Control solutions for Smart Grids
Economic Model Predictive Control.
This is an emerging field in MPC, aiming at allowing a simultaneous treatment of economic planning and decision making with real-time control. Algorithms, analysis and evaluation tools for general nonlinear plants, computational solutions are the main focus of this line of research.
Stability of Nonlinear Systems.
Dr. Angeli has contributed to the definition of the Input-to-State Stability framework for nonlinear systems analysis. His current research is focused on extending the approach to more general nonlinear systems, including multistable systems, oscillators, general systems on manifolds with multiple attractors.
Chemical Reaction Networks Theory.
This area of dynamical systems is concerned with the qualitative behaviour of ODE models of networks of chemical interactions. Dr. Angeli's research focuses on Global Stability, Lyapunov functions and origin of Hopf's bifurcations.
Systems Biology.
Dr. Angeli collaborates with the leading US control expert in the field of systems biology (Prof. E. Sontag) to the development of theoretic tools for the analysis and modular decomposition of models arising in molecular biology. The research so far has focused on monotone control systems and the dynamics of their interconnections.
Control Solutions for Smart Grids.
The future development of Smart Grids will require innovative control solutions for managing power distribution and pricing in order to accomodate a growing penetration of renewable generation. The focus of this line of research is on distributed solutions for Demand-side management and Energy Storage.
