Personal Information
Cristian Secchi was born in Montecchio Emilia (RE, Italy) on February 4th,1975. He graduated with the mark of 99/100 on July12th, 2000 with an experimental thesis developed at the Automation and Robotics Laboratory (L.A.R.) titled "Controllo basato su passività di sistemi di telemanipolazione con ritardo".
In the same year he spent three months (from September to December) at the Control Lab of the Delft University of Technology in quality of visiting scientist working with the Professor Stefano Stramigioli thanks to a scholarship of the University of Bologna. In this period he worked in the field of geometric grasping and telemanipulation of robotic systems.
On March 2001 he began his PhD (XVI cycle) and research activity within Department of Sciences and Methods of Engineering of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia under the supervision of Prof. Cesare Fantuzzi.
From Decembre 2001 to March 2002 he was at the Control Lab of the University of Twente working with Prof. Stefano Stramigioli in the field of discrete port-Hamiltonian systems and haptics.
On April 20th, 2004 he got the PhD degree by defending his thesis titled “Control of Interactive Robotic Interfaces: a port-Hamiltonian approach”. On March 2006 he has been selected as one of the three finalists of the 5th Editio of the EURON Georges Giralt Award for the best PhD thesis in Europe.
Since January 18th, 2005 he is with the Department of Sciences and Methods of Engineering of the school of Engineering of Reggio Emilia, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia as a researcher.Since November 2005 he is Associate Editor of the IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine and since April 2007 he is co-chair of the IEEE Technical Committee on Telerobotics.
