Elia Trevisan

I am a last year PhD Candidate at the Autonomous Multi-Robots Lab at the Delft University of Technology, where I am advised by Javier Alonso-Mora and Robert Babuska. My research interests lie in the intersection of robotics, machine learning, and optimization, with a focus on interactions and autonomous navigation.

Bio: Before joining the Autonomous Multi-Robots Lab, I earned a Master’s degree in Systems and Control from Delft University of Technology, where my thesis under Michel Verhaegen focused on system identification for high numerical aperture microscopy. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Automation Engineering from both Tongji University in Shanghai and the University of Bologna in Italy. During my undergraduate studies, I led a collaboration with Electrolux’s R&D team as part of my thesis with Gianluca Palli, researching robotic manipulators for appliance testing. My technical foundation began with a High School Diploma in Electrical Engineering from ITST J. F. Kennedy in Pordenone, Italy, where I gained practical experience in designing and testing electrical circuits and industrial automation systems.

Awards: I was Best Paper Finalist at the IEEE International Symposium on Multi-Robot & Multi-Agent Systems (MRS) 2023 and the Embracing Contacts Workshop at ICRA 2023. I received my MSc degree cum laude, which is only awarded to the top ~10-15% of the class. During my undegraduate studies I was awarded the merit-based AlmaTong scholarship for the double-bachelor program.
