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.
