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.
