About me

Who Am I?

Hi, I'm Alessandro N. Vargas. I'm a full professor at UTFPR, Brazil. I've been a research scientist in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, University of California, Berkeley, CA, USA, since 2023. I got my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP), Brazil. I spent a year as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya-BarcelonaTech, Spain, from 2014 to 2015. I have served as a Visiting Professor at Arizona State University (ASU), USA, and a Visiting Professor at the Politecnico di Milano (Polimi), Italy. Now, I'm serving as Associate Editor of IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics and the International Journal of Systems Science (Taylor and Francis). I'm a former Editor of the Journal of The Franklin Institute (Elsevier) and IET Signal Processing (Wiley). You can find more details about me in my CV, click here.

Research: My primary research interest is in developing novel techniques for automatic control systems. I particularly enjoy working on algorithms for solving engineering problems. Indeed, I am deeply interested in using mathematics, computation, and electronics to solve real-world engineering problems. From the mathematics viewpoint, I have a background in identification, estimation, and stochastic modeling. From the experimental viewpoint, I have a background in computer sciences, electronics, and mechatronics. My current research focuses on developing stochastic control methods for real-time processes, such as mechatronics, actuators and sensors, automotive systems, and renewable energy. I have been investigating low-cost sensors and electronics for a broad range of engineering applications. For instance, while at UC Berkeley, CA, I received traineeship in plasma technology, which sparked my interest in creating low-cost circuits and sensors for plasma applications.
