Marco Fabris received the Laurea (M.Sc.) degree (with honors) in Automation Engineering and his Ph.D. both from the University of Padua (UniPD), in 2016 and 2020, respectively. In 2018, he spent six months at the University of Colorado Boulder, USA, as a visiting scholar (funded by the awarded grant "Ing. Aldo Gini") focusing on optimal time-invariant formation tracking. In 2020-2021, he was post-doctoral fellow at the Philadelphia Flight Control Lab. in the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa. There, he was in charge to work on the project "Development of a secure-by-design approach for design and analysis of consensus networks under attack". From January 2022 to July 2023 he was post-doctoral fellow at UniPD and he focused on the projects "Preliminary study for the development of flow estimation and control algorithms in a water-channel network", "Water-channel network modeling, estimation, and control" and "Development and analysis of data-driven control methods". He is currently research fellow (RTD-A) with the Telecommunications group at the Department of Information Engineering (DEI), UniPD and he is involved in work packages 3 and 4 of the spoke 8 "MaaS and Innovative Services", under the Centro Nazionale per la Mobilità Sostenibile (MOST).
His main research interests involve graph-based consensus theory, analysis and control of resilient networks, optimal decentralized control and estimation for networked systems, data-driven predictive control and optimization strategies for mobility as a service.

Dr. Fabris fluently speaks Italian, English, Portuguese and Spanish. In 2010 he spent a few months in an internship with Serai S.p.a., Legnaro (PD), where he worked as a technician on electronic devices. Since 2017, he has been in charge to assist students in their thesis activity and lectures. Also, since 2023 he has been part of the teaching faculty at UniPD.
Dr. Fabris has been co-author of more than 20 scientific papers. He is currently member of the IEEE and IFAC communities, the Centro studi di economia e tecnica dell'energia Giorgio Levi Cases, the Space, Aerial and Ground Control Systems (SPARCS) and the Artificial Intelligence, Machine learning and Control (AMCO). He served as session chair for the 18th European Control Conference (ECC) in Naples and the 1st IFAC Joint Conference on Computers, Cognition and Communication (J3C). He has served as a reviewer for several journals and congresses, he is currently an associate editor for the ECC, and he is member of two IFAC technical committees (TC 1.1 Modelling, Identification and Signal Processing; TC 1.5 Networked systems).
