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 (2016-2021) and a Postdoctoral fellow at Rutgers University - Camden in the USA (2014-2016). She received her Ph.D. degree 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 and of the Standing Committee on Traffic Flow Theory and Characteristics of the Transportation Research Board (NASEM). Dr. Delle Monache’s research lies at the intersection of transportation engineering, mathematics, and control theory.

Her full list of publications can be found here.

Curriculum Vitae (CV)

Maria Laura Delle Monache is an Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at UC Berkeley. Dr. Delle Monache’s research lies at the intersection of transportation engineering, mathematics, and control theory. Dr. Delle Monache’s research is focused on understanding the implication of technology on transportation systems. In particular, the effect that technology has on traffic, sustainability and equity. Dr. Delle Monache’s work focuses on building mathematical models and control strategies that can help assess how new vehicular technology will impact traffic congestion, traffic emissions and access to transport.

 

Students:

There are post-docs openings to join my team! I am looking for applicants with very strong background in control engineering and/or applied mathematics with an interest towards smart cities applications. If you are interested please email me at mldellemonache[at]berkeley[dot]edu a single PDF containing your CV with a list of publications, a cover letter stating why you are interested in a post-doc in my lab and at least two references (name and email address).

Perspective students: Students interested in joining the lab are encouraged to apply in the PhD programs in Systems Engineering and Transportation Engineering in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at UC Berkeley.
