I am a staff researcher at ENEA, the Italian Energy, New Technology and Economic Sustainable Development Agency. I'm interested into the application of Evolutionary Computation and—more in general—biologically-inspired algorithms to energy systems. I'm currently involved in projects about Neural Networks, Forecasting, Evolutionary Computation and Energy Modeling problems.
