Maria Laura Delle Monache is an assistant professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at UC Berkeley. Prior to joining the faculty at UC Berkeley, she was a research scientist at Inria in Grenoble, France, from 2016–21, and a postdoctoral fellow at Rutgers University–Camden from 2014–16) She received her Ph.D. in applied mathematics from the University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis (France) in 2014. She is a member of the IEEE CSS Technical Committee on smart cities. She is the recipient of the 2023 IEEE Technical Committee on Cyber Physical Systems (TCCPS) Mid-Career Award, the 2023 IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Society (ITSS) Young Researcher/Engineer Award and the 2024 UC ITS Faculty of the Year Award.
Relevant expertise:
- Mixed autonomy transportation control: developing mathematical models and control strategies for large-scale cyber-physical systems, integrating autonomous, connected, and human-operated agents to improve safety, efficiency, and resilience in transportation.
- Autonomous systems integration and control: designing scalable and data-driven control strategies for mixed-autonomy environments, enabling seamless coordination between autonomous and human-in-the-loop systems across mobility networks
