Born in London in 1966, Luigi Piroddi graduated in Electrical Engineering at the Politecnico di Milano, Italy, in 1990, with a thesis on the identification of periodic ARMA models. He received his Ph.D. degree from the Politecnico di Milano in October 1995 with a dissertation on the application of neural networks for nonlinear predictive control.
Between 1994 and 1999 he was professor of Fundamentals of Automation at the Università degli Studi di Bergamo, Italy. He is with the Politecnico di Milano since 1999, first as assistant professor (1999-2005), then associate professor (2005-2016), and currently full professor (from January 2016). He holds various courses in the systems and control area, among which Model Identification and Data Analysis, Fundamentals of Automation, Industrial Automation, and Active Control of Noise and Vibrations.
His research activity focuses mainly on model identification and industrial automation. More precisely, his current research interests are:
He is co-author of 50 international journal and book publications and 80 international conference papers.
He has been managing or collaborating to several R&D projects in cooperation with industrial companies (ENEL CRA, GPS Standard, ISMES, ENEL.Hydro, Varian Vacuum Technologies, Whirlpool, Technical, Bolton Manitoba, E-lysis, SyES, Siemens, AddFor). He has also contributed to the European projects IND DAMPERS “Industrial Novelty Dampers by Development of Advanced Materials with high Performance under Electromagnetic Stimulation” (in collaboration with ENEL.Hydro), IFLY “Safety, Complexity and Responsibility based design and validation of highly automated Air Traffic Management”, and MOVES “Modeling, verification and control of complex systems: From foundations to power network applications”.

His research activity focuses mainly on model identification and industrial automation. More precisely, his current research interests are:
- Nonlinear black-box model identification with main reference to polynomial NARX/NARMAX models;
- Modeling and control of FMS based on Petri nets;
- Active noise and vibration control.
