Dr. Daniel Silvestre received his B.Sc. in Computer Networks in 2008 from the Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), University of Lisbon, Portugal, and an M.Sc. in Advanced Computing in 2009 from the Imperial College London, United Kingdom. In 2017, Dr. Silvestre got his Ph.D. (with the highest honors) in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the former university. Dr. Daniel Silvestre holds a tenured Assistant Professor position with the School of Science and Technology of the NOVA University of Lisbon. Since 2017, he has participated in 4 projects and has written 3 successful project proposals (2 for the University of Macau and 1 for FCT) considered for funding totaling around 840k €, with a finished FCT project PCIF/MPG/0156/2019 – FirePuma dealing with sensor fusion of crowdsourced data and trajectory design to increase the likelihood of an early forest fire detection. All the indicators from FirePuma surpassed the initial proposal with the highlights being the publication of 15 journal papers and 19 MSc thesis. He has conducted research in nonlinear optimization, Fault Detection and Isolation in dynamical systems and networked control systems leading to the publication of 1 book chapter, 27 papers in Q1 journals (14 being in venues over the 92th percentile) and 28 conference papers with visibility in the control community denoted by 661 citations in Google Scholar (506 since 2020), an h-index of 15, Associate Editor for the Control Systems Society of IEEE and invitation to serve as session Chair in multiple American Control Conference and IEEE Control Decision Conference.

This paper addresses the problem of consensus in the presence of Byzantine faults, modeled by an attacker injecting a perturbation in the state of the nodes of a network. It is firstly shown that Set-Valued Observers (SVOs) attain finite-time consensus, even in the case where the state estimates are not shared between nodes, at the expenses of requiring large horizons, thus rendering the computati (2013): 3023-3028. http://hdl.handle.net/11144/3421.

No centralized infrastructure - implies the need for a decentralized algorithm to perform desynchronization of transmissions.

  2. Self-Triggered Set-Valued Observers. This paper addresses the problem of high computational requirements in the implementation of Set-Valued Observers (SVOs), which places stringent constraints in terms of their use in applications where low computational power is available or the plant is sensitive to delay. It is firstly shown how to determine an overbound for the set-valued estimates, which reduces the overhead by limiting the num. 2015. Silvestre, Daniel. http://hdl.handle.net/11144/3435.
  3. Distributed Fault Detection Using Relative Information in Linear Multi-Agent Networks. This paper addresses the problem of fault detection in the context of a collection of agents performing a shared task and exchanging relative information over a communication network. We resort to techniques in the literature to construct a meaningful observable system and overcome the issue that the system of systems is not observable. A solution involving Set-Valued Observers (SVOs) is proposed. 2015. Silvestre, Daniel. http://hdl.handle.net/11144/3441.
  4. A Geographic Unicast Routing Algorithm using no Location Service. In this paper, we present a geographic routing algorithm which can adapt to different levels of mobility by changing its parameters according to the network in which it is running. Routing decisions are based on directions and geographical positions of the nodes and there is no need for an external location system. Discoveries are done using unicast messages resulting in few control messages being. 2010. Silvestre, Daniel. http://hdl.handle.net/11144/3436.
