Biography

Luca Barbierato was born on May 14th, 1987. In 2006, he graduated as an expert in Electronics and Telecommunication. He enrolled in a B.Sc. in Computer Science at the University of Brescia. After earning his B.Sc., he continued his studies with a M.Sc. in Telecommunication Engineering. Thanks to an ERASMUS Exchange scholarship obtained during his studies, he attended a one-year course at the University of Seville. Moved by the experience abroad, he requested and obtained an ERASMUS Placement to collaborate on the FP7 project inEvent with the Department of Image Processing and 3D Innovations of the HHI Fraunhofer in Berlin. He received the M.Sc. in Telecommunication Engineering on February the 20th, 2013. He collaborated with the SWARM Joint Open Lab (JOL) of Telecom Italia at Politecnico di Torino on the FP7 INTrEPID Project as a research fellow of the Department of Electronics and Telecommunications of Politecnico di Torino. INTrEPID developed technologies that enable energy optimisation of residential buildings and provide adequate mechanisms for effective interaction with the external world, including other buildings, local producers, or electricity distributors, enabling energy exchange capabilities. In February 2016, he joined the Department of Computer and Control Engineering at Politecnico di Torino as a research assistant, continuing to collaborate with SWARM JOL. He is involved in the Horizon 2020 Flexmeter Project as Work Package 4 Leader of the consortium. Flexmeter's focus is developing and demonstrating a flexible smart metering architecture that provides advanced services to the users, the DSOs and the other utilities and enhances the possibilities of the retail market. In November 2018, he joined as a Ph.D. Candidate for the Energy Center LAB. During his doctorate, he was involved in developing the co-simulation platform of the Energy Center LAB, Co-simulation for Energy System Integration (COESI), of which he is still responsible and developer. In January 2020, he joined the IEPG group of the Department of Electrical Sustainable Energy as a Visiting Ph.D. Student where he studies the development of the real-time co-simulation branch of COESI. In September 2022, he earned the doctorate summa cum laude. He’s actually an Assistant Professor at the Department of Control and Computer Engineering of Politecnico di Torino and a Senior Staff of the Energy Center LAB. His main research interest concerned energy efficiency and smart cities, with particular attention on designing IoT platforms to deploy infrastructure for energy metering and developing software solutions for energy-efficient control strategies.
