Michele Vignati is a researcher at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Politecnico di Milano, where he focuses on topics related to vehicle dynamics and control. He obtained his Master’s degree in 2013 and his PhD in 2017 with a thesis titled *“Innovative control strategies for 4WD hybrid and electric vehicles,”* which addressed the development of lateral dynamics control strategies for electric and hybrid vehicles equipped with in-wheel motors.
He collaborates with several companies, including Pirelli, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Volvo, Prometeon, and others, on the development of models, testing methodologies, and the design of road and agricultural vehicles and their subsystems, such as tires, braking systems, and powertrains, also through the use of a dynamic driving simulator.
In publicly funded research projects, he works on systems for autonomous driving and remote driving (teleoperation). He is the author of more than 60 publications in international journals and conferences, and in 2018 he received a Best Paper Award for a study on braking control at the limit of slip using in-wheel motors.
He teaches the courses *Vehicle Dynamics and Control* and the *Human Driving in the Loop Simulator Laboratory* for the Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, as well as *Control and Actuating Devices for Agriculture* for the Bachelor’s degree in Agricultural Engineering.
