Alberto Leva is Professor of Automatic Control at the Politecnico di Milano, Italy. His main research interest concern methods and tools for the automatic tuning of industrial controllers and control structures, process modelling, simulation and control, particularly within the object-oriented paradigm, object-oriented modelling and control of energy systems with particular reference to large grids, and advanced tolls and methods for control education. In recent years, he has been concentrating on control and control-based design of computing systems, addressing in a system- and control-theoretical manner problems like scheduling, resource allocation, time synchronisation in wireless sensor networks, thermal and power/performance management, performance-driven software adaptation, and service composition.

I am an energy engineer and researcher at the Institute of Electric Power Systems at the Leibniz University of Hanover (Germany), with expertise in energy systems modelling, sector-coupling and energy storage. I am currently finishing up my PhD on long-duration energy storage. During my PhD, I created dynamic system models of grid-scale long-duration energy storage systems to benchmark different technologies on a deeper technical level. For this, I use a Python and OpenModelica-based simulation workflow. A part of this research was conducted at the University of Birmingham, where I focused on pumped thermal energy storage. When I'm not in front of a computer, you will find me on the Rugby pitch.
