Bruno Sinopoli named director of ASU’s School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering
Professor Bruno Sinopoli has been named director of the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering, part of the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University. Sinopoli plans to contribute to the Fulton Schools’ mission to significantly impact research and education at a time when both are being reshaped by rapid technological change, growing interdisciplinary demands and the challenge of preparing engineers for increasingly complex real-world systems.
“I believe that the Fulton Schools and the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering are perfectly positioned to lead this change,” he says.
Sinopoli is a distinguished researcher and expert in cyber-physical and control systems and will continue his work at ASU. He conducts research on robust and resilient design for cyber-physical systems, networked and distributed control systems, distributed interference in networks, smart infrastructure, wireless sensor and actuator networks, adaptive video streaming applications and energy systems.
In the Fulton Schools, Sinopoli aims to ensure students are supported and prepared to achieve academically as they join world-shaping industries.
“I am excited to find ways to combine inclusivity with excellence in education at scale,” he says. “The U.S. is in need of renewing the American dream for its students and to develop domestic talent in technology and engineering.”
Sinopoli joins the Fulton Schools from Washington University in St. Louis, where he served as the Das Family Distinguished Professor and chair of the Preston M. Green Department of Electrical & Systems Engineering in the McKelvey School of Engineering.
