Andrea Monteriù received the Laurea degree (joint BSc/MSc) summa cum laude in Electrical Engineering from the Università Politecnica delle Marche (former University of Ancona), Italy, in 2003, with a MSc thesis entitled: “Fault-tolerant methods for sensor fusion” which has been entirely developed in the “Socrates Erasmus Project” to the Automation Department of the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), Lyngby, Denmark, under the supervision of the Prof. Mogens Blanke. He received the Ph.D. degree (Dottorato di Ricerca) in Artificial Intelligence Systems from the same institution in 2006, under the supervision of Prof. Sauro Longhi, with a PhD thesis entitled “Model-based fault diagnosis for mobile robotic systems”.

From January to September 2005 he worked at the Center for Robot Assisted Search & Rescue (CRASAR) of the University of South Florida, Tampa, Florida, under the supervision of Prof. Kimon Valavanis, as visiting research fellow in the framework of a fellowship of the PhD program. From 2007 he holds a fellowship at the Department of Computer Science, Management and Automation Engineering (D.I.I.G.A.) of the Polytechnic University of Marches, Ancona, with main research topic on “Methods and innovative technologies for fault detection and isolation in the modern control systems”.

Dr. Monteriù’s research interests lie in the field of control and systems theory, with emphasis on fault diagnosis, fault handling, fault tolerant control, nonlinear control, tracking and regulation, nonlinear dynamical systems, and application to robotic  and marine systems, service robots for assistive and rehabilitative applications. He is currently involved in several research projects founded by italian companies and mainly focused on fault diagnosis. Moreover, Dr. Monteriù is involved in different teaching activities, and he is adjunct professor for “Automatic Control” and “Modelling and Identification of Dynamic Systems” for MS students in Electrical Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Marches, Italy. Currently, he is an active scientific reviewer of different reputable academic journals and international conferences, and he is a member of the IEEE community.

Dr. Monteriù has been a member of the National Organizing Committee (NOC) of IFAC Conference on CAMS 2004 – “Control Applications in Marine Systems” to the Faculty of Engineering, Polytechnic University of Marches, Ancona, where he has organized several technical activities and has been reviewer of various papers concerning the FDI (Fault Detection and Isolation) and FTC (Fault Tolerant Control) field.
