Congrats to @gioele-zardini.bsky.social on receiving a 2025 DARPA Young Faculty Award to support his research into scalable, verifiable design of multi-agent autonomous systems. #AutonomousSystems #ScalableDesign #MIT #EngineeringResearch lids.mit.edu/news-and-eve...

Wrapping up a fantastic week in Southeast Asia (🇲🇾 & 🇸🇬), exploring exciting opportunities in the design and operation of society-critical systems—from sustainable agriculture to resilient maritime infrastructure.
Every visit to this region leaves me inspired—and a little more attached...

we’re on @mitofficial.bsky.social news!!!

Exciting news! Our paper on compositional optimization of robot design has been accepted to IEEE Transactions on Robotics!

We introduce a task-driven co-design approach to balance safety, efficiency, and resource usage (costs, energy, computation, weight) for autonomy.

Sometimes, when competitors collaborate, everybody wins A new framework helps rail system operators or other planners identify the best joint infrastructure projects to collaborate on with other firms. Their tool can tell an operator how much to invest, th...

A team of researchers including Prof. Gioele Zardini have developed a new planning tool that can help independent entities decide when they should invest in joint projects. @gioele-zardini.bsky.social news.mit.edu/2025/sometim...

Check out @mitofficial.bsky.social News official article about our recent work on co-opetitive network design!
In this specific study, we looked at railway networks, but we aim to instantiate these tools in multi-modal networks more broadly.

@mitcee.bsky.social

Glad you enjoyed my talk!

On Friday I'll give the Keynote Address at the EEE Graduate Symposium @columbiauniversity.bsky.social
in NYC. The talk will be at 10:15 am in David Auditorium (room 412) and I'll spend the day at Columbia. If you're around and want to join/meet, just ping me.

Paper 2: acc25art.github.io

Transforming spacecraft trajectory planning: Our novel framework uses transformers to generalize across dynamic scenarios, boosting optimization speed, cutting costs by 30%, and reducing failures by 80%.

Paper 1: lnkd.in/dv5gAGp3

How can network operators collaborate (and compete) for better outcomes?
Our game-theoretic framework explores co-investment & payoff-sharing mechanisms to align incentives, boosting social welfare, sustainability, and efficiency.

Great news, two papers were accepted at ACC'25, to be presented in Denver, Colorado later this year.

On my way to IEEE CDC in Milan

This morning I had a last group breakfast before the break 🎄
My students got me a nice xmas card… with a commutative diagram 🥹😍

thanks so much!!! 😊

the banana room at MIT could become a gallery 🍌
