POST-DOCTORAL FELLOW

September 2021 - Ongoing

Abuabiah research interests are in advanced control and system identification, and their applications to a wide range of fields including robotics, industrial automation, and manufacturing systems. In particular, he is interested in the data-driven and robust control design of dynamic systems including sensors, actuators and microcontrollers. As an MSc student, he worked mainly on Robust Control and Set-membership identification with application to an automotive problem in collaboration with FCA/Centro Ricerche Fiat – Torino. While, during his PhD, he worked in the innovative field of direct data driven controller design, working with Prof. Vito Cerone and Prof. Diego Regruto, and his work was published in well-known international conferences and journal papers. He was ranked first as a PhD candidate in the Computer and Control Engineering program, and the 1st place winner of one of the three Grants provided by FCA for the proposal’s competition related to the Automotive field. He was also a research assistant at the Manipal Institute of Technology in India, working on developing an Anti-Reset Windup methodology for the PID controller, working with Prof. I. Thirunavukkarasu. Finally, his recent research work is devoted to Additive Manufacturing technology and development at UL, working with Prof. Peter Plapper and in collaboration with Institut de Soudure – France.

FUNDED PROJECTS

Abuabiah has done several national and international research and industrial projects. For example, BALSAM project, which is funded by MSCA-PF 2021 and aims to provide in-depth methods, models and tools of sensing and control design suitable for the Laser Additive Manufacturing system, including technologies developed for a generic welding process using data-driven control methodology (Sep. 2022 – Sep. 2024). FAFil project, which is an association of various universities, institutes, and research centres in the Greater Region to strengthen cross-border cooperation in the field of metal manufacturing for the aerospace industry by using a 6-axis industrial robot (Sep. 2021 – May 2022). REACH project, which is an Erasmus funded project under the action of Capacity Building in the field of Higher Education (Nov. 2019 – Nov. 2022). Furthermore, Abuabiah was working on a research project for improving dual dry clutch transmission control strategies, in cooperation with the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, under the partnership agreement between the Politecnico di Torino and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, with the aim of research, development, innovation and technological transfer (Feb. 2014 – Sep. 2016). Finally, design an Active/semi-active vibration isolation system for seat vehicles, under the partnership agreement between the Automotive Department at Politecnico di Torino and Fiat Research Center (Jan. – Nov. 2015).
