Luca Bascetta was born in Milan (Italy) in 1974. He received the "Laurea" degree cum laude in Computer Science Engineering in 1999 and the Doctorate degree in Information Technology in 2004, both from Politecnico di Milano, Italy.
From 2004 to 2006 he has been a Research Assistant at the Dipartimento di Elettronica e Informazione of Politecnico di Milano, teaching Control System Technologies and Engineering to Computer Science Engineering students.
From December 2006 to December 2014 he has been an Assistant Professor in Automatic Control at the School of Industrial and Information Engineering of Politecnico di Milano, teaching Automatic Control to Aerospace Engineering students at Politecnico di Milano.
Since January 2015 he has been an Associate Professor in Automatic Control at the School of Industrial and Information Engineering of Politecnico di Milano. Dr. Bascetta currently teaches Automatic Control to Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering students at Politecnico di Milano.
He took part in the writing of two founded European research projects in the field of robotics (ICT-230902-ROSETTA, Robot control for Skilled ExecuTion of Tasks in natural interaction with humans; based on Autonomy, cumulative knowledge and learning; ICT-231143-ECHORD, European Clearing House for Open Robotics Development), and to the research activities of some national research projects. He was the person in charge for Politecnico di Milano in the FP7 four years long European Integrating Project ECHORD as coordinator of the experiment FIDELIO FIxtureless DEburring of wheeLs by human demonstratIOn. His research interests include autonomous vehicles, robotics, and all the problems related to motion control. The research activity in the field of robotics includes modelling and control of flexible manipulators and visual servoing. He also worked in the mechatronics and motion control fields, in particular on the control of brushless/asynchronous motors using low resolution position sensors, and on model-based PID autotuning techniques for 1-d.o.f. and 2-d.o.f. control architectures.
Since 2004 he is a reviewer of many international conferences and journals in the field of robotics, mechatronics and automatic control. Furthermore, he received the Best Referee Award for the Journal of Process Control for the year 2008.
Dr. Bascetta is a member of IEEE Robotics and Automation Society since 2007.
