Antonello Rizzi

Antonello  Rizzi received  the  Dr.  Eng.  degree  in Electronic Engineering from the University of Rome "La Sapienza" in 1995 and the Ph.D. in Information and Communication Engineering in 2000, from the same University.  In  September  2000  he  joined  the "Information  and  Communication"  Department (INFO-COM  Dpt.)  of  the  University  of  Rome  "La Sapienza" as an Assistant Professor. Since July 2010 he joined the "Information, Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering" Department (DIET), in the same University. Currently, he serves as an Associate Professor at DIET. His  major  fields  of  interest  are  in  the  area  of  Soft  Computing,  Pattern Recognition  and  Computational  Intelligence,  including  supervised  and unsupervised  data  driven  modeling  techniques,  neural  networks,  fuzzy systems  and  evolutionary algorithms.  His research activity concerns the design of automatic modeling  systems, with particular focus on classification, clustering, function approximation and prediction problems. Currently, he is working on the following topics: Computational Intelligence techniques for Smart Grids and Micro Grids modelling, monitoring and control, Intelligent Systems for Sustainable Mobility, Energy Storage Systems modeling and control, Predictive Diagnostc systems for Condition Based Maintenance in Smart Grids, Complex Systems modelling and control, Granular Computing and Knowledge Discovery, Data Mining Systems in Industrial Applications, Classification and clustering systems for structured  patterns,  machine learning in non-metric spaces, graph and sequence matching,  symbolic  inductive modeling systems, agent-based clustering and substructures mining, parallel and distributed computing. Since 2008  he  serves as the scientific coordinator and technical director of the R&D activities in the  Intelligent  Systems  Laboratory within  the  Sustainable Mobility Pole of Lazio Region. He is author of more than 170 publications on international journals and conferences. He is a Senior Member of IEEE.
