Valentina Orsini was born in Ascoli Piceno on 28/01/1978. She received the Master’s Degree in Electronic Engineering in 2003 and the Ph.D. degree in Artificial Intelligent Systems in 2006 from the Università Politecnica delle Marche. From 01/12/2006 to 30/09/2012 she had a post doc position at the Dipartimento di Ingegneria dell’Informazione DII of the Università Politecnica delle Marche. Since 1/10/2012 she is a Post-Doctoral Researcher at the Dipartimento di Ingegneria e Scienze dell’Informazione e Matematica dell’Università degli Studi de l’Aquila. Her research mainly involves the following topics:

1 Analysis and synthesis problems concerning the control of uncertain time varying systems
1a Development of hierarchically supervised control architectures
1b Development of supervised gain scheduling control techniques based on the frozen time approach
1c Efficient robust stabilization of linear time varying systems
