Elena Zattoni received the Laurea degree cum Laude in Electronics Engineering in 1995 and the Ph.D. in Systems Engineering in 1999 from the University of Bologna, Italy. She is Associate Professor in Automatic Control at the Alma Mater Studiorum Università di Bologna. She has been a Visiting Professor at Leuphana University of Lüneburg, Aalto University, University of Michigan, Institut de Recherche en Communications et Cybernétique de Nantes, and Brown University. Her research interests are focused on geometric and structural approaches to control systems, including hybrid systems and time-delay systems, with applications to the synthesis of enhanced-reliability control systems. She has authored more than one hundred and fifty papers in journals, conference proceedings and books. She has co-edited the book "Structural Methods in the Study of Complex Systems". She is the General Chair of the "1st IFAC Workshop on Control of Complex Systems (COSY 2022)" and she has been theGeneral Chair of the ''15th European Workshop on Advanced Control and Diagnosis (ACD 2019)''. She is a member of the IFAC TC on Linear Control Systems. She is a Senior Member of IEEE and she has served on the Member Activity Board of the IEEE Control Systems Society.
Silvio Simani was born in Ferrara in 1971. He received his Laurea degree (cum laude) in Electronic Engineering from the Department of Engineering at the University of Ferrara, Italy, in 1996, and was awarded the Ph.D. in Information Science (Automatic Control) at the Department of Engineering of the University of Ferrara and Modena, Italy, in 2000. Since February 2002 he was Assistant Professor at the Department of Engineering of the University of Ferrara, and since December 2018 he has been Professor of Automatic Control at the same Department. Since 1999 he is member of the IFAC Technical Committee 6.4 on Fault Detection, Supervision and Safety for Technical Processes (SAFEPROCESS), and vice-chair of the same TC from 2018. Since
