Biography:Mariagrazia Dotoli

Short description: Italian systems engineer

Mariagrazia Dotoli (born 1971) is an Italian systems engineer and control theorist whose research involves the optimization of supply chain management and traffic control in smart cities, fuzzy control systems, and the use of Petri nets in modeling these applications as discrete event dynamic systems. She is Professor in Systems and Control Engineering in the Department of Electrical and Information Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Bari.

Education and career

Dotoli is the daughter of Giovanni Dotoli (fr), an Italian scholar of French literature; she was born in 1971 in Bari. She was educated at the Liceo Scientifico Statale Arcangelo Scacchi and at the Polytechnic University of Bari, where she earned a laurea in 1995, after a year working with Bernadette Bouchon-Meunier at Pierre and Marie Curie University in Paris. She went on to earn a professional engineering qualification in 1996 and to complete a Ph.D. in 1999. Her doctoral dissertation, Recent Developments of the Fuzzy Control Methodology, was supervised by Bruno Maione; her doctoral research also included work with Jan Jantzen at the Technical University of Denmark.

She remained at the Polytechnic University of Bari as an assistant professor beginning in 1999, and despite winning a national qualification to be a full professor in 2013, remained an assistant until 2015. She became an associate professor from 2015 to 2019, and has been a full professor since 2019. She also served the university as vice chancellor for research from 2012 to 2013.
