Biography
Professor Luca Furieri joined the University of Oxford as an Associate Professor and Tutorial Fellow of St Hugh’s College in June 2025. Previously, I served as a Principal Investigator at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), supported by an Ambizione career grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation. I have received a Laurea degree from the University of Bologna and a PhD in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology from ETH Zurich in 2020.
Research
My research interests lie in integrating machine learning within control and optimisation algorithms to enable intelligent behaviour in critical engineering infrastructures. My group develops learning-based approaches that preserve stability, safety, and robustness in large-scale, interconnected systems such as energy and traffic networks.
Teaching
At St Hugh’s, I teach undergraduates in Engineering Science.
