About Vasso
Vasso Reppa is an Associate Professor in the Department of Maritime and Transport Technology, Transport Engineering and Logistics Section, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Delft University of Technology. She serves as the Principal Investigator of the SAFE-NET research group, focusing on safety and resilience in autonomous shipping. Reppa earned her Diploma and PhD in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Patras, Greece, with the doctorate awarded in 2010. Her early career included roles as a Scientific Collaborator at Patras Science Park S.A. from 2006 to 2008 and a student intern at IBM Zurich Research Laboratory in 2009. From 2011 to 2017, she was a Postdoctoral Researcher and Research Associate at the KIOS Research and Innovation Center of Excellence in Cyprus. In 2013, she received the Marie Curie Intra European Fellowship for the FUTuRISM project, leading to her position as Research Fellow at CentraleSupélec, University of Paris-Saclay from 2014 to 2016. She also conducted visiting research at Imperial College London and the University of Newcastle, Australia. Reppa joined Delft University of Technology as Assistant Professor in 2018 and has since advanced to Associate Professor.
Her research specializes in fault tolerant control, fault diagnosis, interconnected systems, multi-agent control, collision avoidance, ship automation, and autonomous shipping operations. Reppa leads several projects, including AUTOBarge on autonomous barges for inland shipping, READINESS for adaptable ship designs, fault diagnosis for inland waterway systems, SCoop for safe cooperation of autonomous vehicles, and Safe and Resilient Control for marine power plants. Key publications include 'Distributed sensor fault diagnosis for a network of interconnected cyberphysical systems' (2014, 144 citations), 'Model-reference reinforcement learning for collision-free tracking control of autonomous surface vehicles' (2021, 118 citations), 'Adaptive approximation for multiple sensor fault detection and isolation of nonlinear uncertain systems' (2013, 115 citations), and recent works such as 'Multiple sensor fault diagnosis for safe navigation of autonomous surface vessels' (2026). She received the Best Paper Award in 2021 for 'MPC Framework for the Energy Management of Hybrid Ships with an Energy Storage System'. Reppa's contributions advance safety and autonomy in maritime transport, influencing control systems for interconnected vessels and resilient operations.
