- Francesco Sorrentino received a master's degree in Industrial Engineering from the University of Naples Federico II (Italy) in 2003
- Ph.D. in Control Engineering from the University of Naples Federico II (Italy) in 2007.
- Expertise is in dynamical systems and controls, with particular emphasis on nonlinear dynamics and adaptive decentralized control.
- Work includes studies on dynamics and control of complex dynamical networks and hypernetworks, adaptation in complex systems, sensor adaptive networks, coordinated autonomous vehicles operating in a dynamically changing environment, and identification of nonlinear systems.
- Research is funded by the National Science Foundation, the Office of Naval Research, and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency
- He has published more than 30 papers in International Scientific Peer Reviewed Journals
