Giuliano Punzo

Clean Growth Committee Member

Giuliano Punzo is a Lecturer in the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Sheffield. He earned his PhD at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, and held postdoctoral appointments, at the University of Glasgow, Strathclyde and Sheffield.

An aerospace engineer by training, after leaving the industry, Giuliano’s interests grew in the broad area of control theory and complex systems. His current research aims at understanding complex dynamics at the interface between social and technical systems. These include the use of public services such as transportation or water systems, how these impact the demographic and the resilience of both the infrastructure and the community they serve.

Research interests include network theory, control theory, consensus, complexity, socio-technical systems and game theory.

Giuliano is the director of the Sheffield Urban Flows Observatory and a Strategy Board member of the STFC Data Analytics Facility for National Infrastructure (DAFNI).
