I received my degree in Electrical Engineering in 1999 and obtained a Ph.D. in 2004, at the University of Naples "Federico II". By 2019 associate professor for the courses of "Electrical systems" and "Smart home into Smart City", an adjunct professor from 2006 to 2019 for the same courses at the University of Bergamo. Adjunct Professor for the Politecnico di Milano from 2004-2015 of the "Automation of transport systems" course; in 2003-2004 of the "Electric transport systems I" course. Sustainable development was the first key element of my research activity, up to the themes of development, definition, and implementation of Smart Cities. The main research fields are electrical systems for transport and smart grids in the presence of distributed generation, especially from renewable sources, for the control and management of energy flows between the grid, Smart Home, and Building (smart appliances). Specifically, I have studied models for the control and optimization of the systems, which can be implemented and replicated, which allow us to obtain management strategies, which also respond to the new energy market, through Prosumer Side Management. The systems related to electric mobility, intelligent lighting through sustainability aspects, and electrified transport systems were jointly considered and integrated. these issues then saw in parallel the study of the related Power Quality problems My research activity has also found development and implementation in practical applications, both in the implementation of pilot projects related to the creation of a smart city, and in the drafting of the SEAP (Action Plan for Sustainable Efficiency) of European Commission, for the Municipality of Naples, both in participating in the CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project) of European Commission, a global platform for cities to measure, manage and disseminate their environmental data, for risk management, promote dissemination, insights, and actions towards a sustainable economy. Reviewer for more than 20 different Scopus journals, international research programs, for many IEEE conferences. Guest Editor for Special Issue "Smart Building, Smart Cities, Home Automation and loT" Energies MDPI. Author of more than 80 papers on Scopus international journals and conferences.
