Raffaele Carli received the Laurea degree in electronic engineering with honours in 2002 and the Ph.D. in electrical and information engineering in 2016, both from Politecnico di Bari, Italy. From 2003 to 2004, he was a Reserve Officer with Italian Navy. From 2004 to 2012, he worked as System and Control Engineer and 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 the control engineering field 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.

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 Tutorials Co-chair of 2023 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics (SMC 2023). He is the Finance Chair and Special Session Chair of the 2024 IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (2024 August 26-30, Bari – Italy). He is an Associate Editor of the IEEE TRANS. ON AUTOMATION SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING and the IEEE TRANS. 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 over 30 international conferences, and a guest editor for special issues on international journals.
