University of Padova (UNIPD)

He is a world leading researcher in dynamic system identification, a fundamental subfield of Automatic Control. He has published 101 referred conference papers and 72 papers in the most important peer-reviewed international journals of Control Systems and Bioengineering. Among others, 33 papers are published in Automatica and 6 in IEEE Transactions of Automatic Control, two of the most prestigious Automatic Control Journals. He also serves as an Associate Editor for Automatica and IEEE Transactions of Automatic Control. He formulated new techniques based on stochastic regularization that outperform the classical techniques. To date Scopus reports 2660 citations, with an h-index of 25. His work has had a great influence in the System Identification community and, for his achievements, he has received the 2017 Automatica Prize, an award assigned every three years for outstanding contributions to the theory and/or practice of control engineering/science, documented in a paper published in the IFAC Journal Automatica. He also obtained in 2003 the National Bioengineering Group “Paolo Durst 2003 award” for the best Italian Ph.D. thesis in Bioengineering He is 2018 Plenary Speaker at the IFAC Symposium on System Identification, the most important conference in the System Identification field. He is an IEEE Fellow since 2020 for contributions to System Identification.

Therefore, he completed his residency in Pediatrics and fellowship in Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetology, as well as a PhD in developmental science, at the University of Padova. He did his post-doctoral fellowhsip at Yale University working on pivotal trials on hybrid closed loop and inhaled insulin in type 1 diabetes. He received the ISPAD fellowship for pediatric diabetes research (2016), the Albert Renold – EFSD grant (2014) and the Patterson Foundation Award (2017). Dr Galderisi has conducted a pivotal study in preterm neonates using CGM and control algorithm defining a new approach to neonatal hypoglycemia (Pediatrics, 2017), that has influenced the subsequent work in the field. He served as PI for clinical trials using CGM (NCT02583776 and NCT04347590) in critical pediatric patients. His scientific activity includes 44 papers in leading peer-reviewed international journals.

Prof Giaquinto has been Honorary Senior Lecturer at the Centre for Paediatric Epidemiology and Biostatistics of the Institute of Child Health in London (2002-2010), Chair of the Education Committee of the European Society Paediatric Infectious Disease (ESPID) (2006-2010), Member of the EMEA Paediatric Expert Group (2004-2006) and WHO part time Consultant and advisor on paediatric HIV and other infections (Zika, SARS AMR etc  (since 1989)

He is Author/co-author of more than 370 publications in peer-reviewed (H-index 54 and almost 10,000 citations) and invited as speaker at about 300 conferences and international workshops across the world.  In the last 25 years Carlo Giaquinto has been Project leader/coordinator of more than 20 EU funded projects from Biomed II through FP7, DG SANCO, H2020, EDCTP, IMI1 and IMI2 (see ongoing/recent projects enclosed ) mainly on Paediatric Infectious Diseases and Paediatric Medicine. He has also been PI/Co-Pi of a large number of Investigator Initiated Studies funded by Industries or other research funding organizations.

In 2020, he was a postdoctoral fellow at the University Padova, involved in a research project sponsored by MERL. His research interests are System Identification, Machine Learning, Control, with applications to robotics systems. His scientific activity includes 3 papers in leading peer-reviewed international journals and 6 referred conference papers.
