Raffaele Carli received the Laurea degree (Hons.) in electronic engineering and the Ph.D. degree in electrical and information engineering from the Polytechnic of Bari, Italy, in 2002 and 2016, respectively. From 2003 to 2004, he was a Reserve Officer with Italian Navy. From 2004 to 2012, he worked as a System and Control Engineer and the Technical Manager for a space and defense multinational company. He is currently a Senior Assistant Professor of Automatic Control at the Polytechnic of Bari. He is qualified for access to a position of full professor in control engineering since 2023. 

He is the technical responsible for the Decision and Control Laboratory (coordinated by prof. Mariagrazia Dotoli) at the Department of Electric and Information Engineering (DEI) of the Polytechnic of Bari (http://dclab.poliba.it/).

He is an author of over 100 printed international publications. His area of expertise is the development of decision and control techniques for the modelling, optimization, management, and control of complex and large-scale systems. His research interests include the formalization, simulation, and implementation of decentralized, distributed, and hierarchical optimization and control algorithms, to be applied on distributed systems (cooperative and noncooperative), multi-agent systems, and networked systems in smart frameworks such as for example the industry and energy fields.

He was the Young Career Chair of the 2017 IEEE Conference on Automation Science and Engineering, the Pubblication Co-chair of the 2020 IEEE Conference on Automation Science and Engineering, the General Co-chair of 7th International Conference on Renewable Energy and Conservation (ICREC 2022), and the Tutorial Co-chair of the 2023 IEEE International Conference onSystems, Man, and Cybernetics (SMC 2023). He is the   Finance Chair and Special Session Chair of 2024 IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (2024 August 26-30 – Bari, Italy). He is an Associate Editor of the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON AUTOMATION SCIENCE ANDENGINEERING and the and the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON SYSTEMS,MAN, AND CYBERNETICS.  He is a member of the conference editorial board for the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (RAS) and IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society (SMC), a member of the international program committee of several international conferences, and a guest editor for special issues on international journals.
