Biography
Dr. Roberto Sabatini is a Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics with three decades of experience in aerospace and defense systems research and education, having served in various industry, government and academic organizations in Europe, North America, Australia, and the Middle-East. His research addresses key contemporary challenges in avionics, spaceflight and robotics/autonomous systems design, test and certification, focusing on the central role played by cyber-physical systems and AI in the digital transformation and sustainable development of the aerospace sector (e.g., trusted autonomous flight systems, cognitive human-machine systems, urban and regional air mobility, distributed space systems, space domain awareness, and multi-domain traffic management). Throughout his career, Prof. Sabatini led several research projects funded by national governments, the European Commission, and industrial partners such as Thales, Leonardo, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, the SmartSat Cooperative Research Centre (CRC), and many others.
Prof. Sabatini is author or co-author of more than 300 peer-reviewed international publications and was recognized as best-in-field national scientist in aerospace engineering and aviation by the 2021 Australian annual research report. Since 2019, he is also listed among the world’s top 2% scientists in aerospace and aeronautics (Elsevier/Stanford University). Prof. Sabatini is a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS), the Royal Institute of Navigation (RIN), the Institution of Engineers Australia (IEAust), and the International Engineering and Technology Institute (IETI). He was conferred prestigious national and international awards including: Distinguished Leadership Award – Aviation/Aerospace Australia (2021); Scientist of the Year – Australian Defence Industry Awards (2019); Professorial Scholarship Award – Northrop Grumman Corporation (2017); Science Award – Sustainable Aviation Research Society (2016); Arch T. Colwell Merit Award – Society of Automotive Engineering (2015); and Scientific Achievement Award – NATO Research & Technology Organization (2008).
In 2020, Prof. Sabatini was nominated IEEE AESS Distinguished Lecturer (Aerospace Cyber-Physical Systems) and, since 2021, he serves as Chair of the IEEE AESS Avionics Systems Panel. In 2022, he was elected to the Board of Governors of the IEEE AESS. Prof. Sabatini holds and has held honorary/visiting positions at a number of international institutions, including: RMIT University/Sir Lawrence Wackett Defence and Aerospace Centre, Australia; Polytechnic University of Turin, Italy; Chosun University, South Korea; the DUT Space Science Center (SSC), South Africa; and the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI), South Korea. Currently, Prof. Sabatini serves in various editorial roles, including: Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Press Series on Aeronautics and Astronautics Systems; Editor for Progress in Aerospace Sciences; Section Editor-in-Chief for Robotics (Aerospace Robotics and Autonomous Systems); and Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems, Robotica, the Journal of Navigation, and Aerospace Science and Technology.
