Marco Claudio Campi is an engineer and a mathematician who specializes in data science and inductive methods. He holds a permanent appointment with the University of Brescia, Italy, while also collaborating with various research institutions, universities and NASA. Since 2012, he has been a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and since 2020 a Fellow of the International Federation of Automatic Control.

Academic research[edit]

Campi is a co-creator of the scenario approach, which provides solid mathematical foundation to observation-driven decision-making based on consistent rules.[1][2] His early contributions in this area demonstrated that, within a convex optimization framework, bounds to the probability of invalidating a decision can be directly determined form the dimensionality of the optimization domain.[3][4] Subsequent advancements extended this result to schemes permitting the exclusion of certain observations to enhance decision-related costs.[5] More recent work has revealed a deep-seated connection between the concept of complexity of a decision (precisely defined in his papers) and its reliability.[6][7] The scenario approach has found practical applications across various domains, including control theory,[8] portfolio optimization[9] and statistical classification.[10]

Campi is also the inventor of the Virtual reference Feedback Tuning (VRFT), an approach to design controllers using batches of data collected from a plant.[11][12]
