Alberto Speranzon - About

Bio

Alberto Speranzon is currently a Technical Fellow at Honeywell Aerospace, Advanced Technology Group, based in Minneapolis, MN, USA. Alberto received the “Laurea” degree in computer engineering from University of Padova, Italy in 2000, and a Ph.D. in automatic control from the School of Electrical Engineering, Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Stockholm, Sweden in 2006. At Honeywell, Alberto is working on autonomous systems, machine learning and systems of systems, leading such research areas as program manager and principal investigator. He is currently also Co-PI of a DARPA sponsored project on new optimization methods based on homological algebra and sheaf theory. Alberto received the Best Poster Award at the “Hybrid Systems: Computation and Control (HSCC) conference” in 2017 on novel abstraction and compositional methods based on sheaf and category theory, in collaboration with MIT. Before joining Honeywell, he was a research scientist at United Technologies Research Center (UTRC), in East Hartford, CT, USA where, since 2008, he covered various roles of increasing responsibility. At UTRC, Alberto served as project manager and principal investigator of various DARPA sponsored projects on novel methods for navigation in GPS degraded and denied and new mathematics for swarm intelligence where methods, cutting across robust adaptive filtering, artificial intelligence, graph theory and algebraic topology were combined. His research interests are mainly in the area of autonomy/robotics, machine learning and cyber–physical systems, and in particular on distributed control and optimization, analysis and design of complex systems and abstraction methods for intelligent and learning systems. At UTRC he received the Outstanding Achievement Award in 2009 from UTRC, highest award given by UTRC. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE, an associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology Journal and part of the Technical Program Committee of various conferences in the area of cyber–physical systems, robotics and networked control systems.
