Fabrizio Dabbene received the Laurea degree in Electrical Engineering in 1995 and the Ph.D. degree in Systems and Computer Engineering in 1999, both from Politecnico di Torino, Italy. From 2001 he holds a research position with the IEIIT Institute of the National Research Council (CNR) of Italy, where he is Senior Researcher from January 2007. He has held visiting and research positions at the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Iowa and at the RAS Institute of Control Science, Moscow. Dr. Dabbene also holds strict collaboration with Politecnico di Torino, where he teaches several courses in Systems and Control, and with Università degli Studi di Torino, where he does research on modeling of environmental systems.

His research interests include probabilistic and randomized methods for systems and control, robust control and identification of complex systems, convex optimization and modeling of environmental systems.robust On these topics he has been the organizer or co-organizer of several invited sessions and special courses, and of three Conference Workshops (CDC 2000, MSC 2008 and MSC 2010).

He is author or co-author of more than 80 publications, which include 30 articles published in international journals. He is co-author of the monograph Randomized Algorithms for Analysis and Control of Uncertain Systems, Springer-Verlag, published in two editions, and editor of the book Probabilistic and Randomized Methods for Design under Uncertainty, also published by Springer. He is one of the main developers of the recently released Matlab Toolbox RACT (Randomized Algorithms Control Toolbox).

Dr. Dabbene is a Senior Member of the IEEE. He serves as Associate Editor for the IFAC Journal Automatica, Elsevier Science and for the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control. From 2002 to 2008 he has been member of the Conference Editorial Board of the IEEE Control System Society. He is currently chairing the IEEE Technical Committee on Computational Aspects of Control System Design (CACSD) and the IFAC Technical Committee 2.5 on Robust Control. He has been member of the Program Committee for the joint conference CDC/ECC-05, for MSC 2008 and for CDC 2009, and he has served as member of several CDC and IFAC Award Committees. He was Program Chair of the CACSD Symposium for MSC 2010. He is a recipient of the Outstanding Paper Award 2010 by EurAgeng.
