9th and 10th October (Day 1 9:00-16:00/Day 2 9:00-16:30)
Mathieustraße 10, Aachen E. ON Energy Research Center
Rooms: BSZ 00.19/Seminar Room 23

Speaker: Dr. Andrea Fioravanti
Dr. Andrea Fioravanti graduated with honors in Electrical Engineering from the University of L’Aquila, after an internship at ESIEE-Amiens, France. He completed his PhD in 2021 with a thesis on the resilience of electric systems and is currently a researcher and professor at the same university. Dr. Fioravanti teaches Electric Power Systems and contributes to courses on smart grids and power distribution. He is an editorial assistant for the “International Journal of Emerging Electric Power Systems” and the “Journal of Circuit, Systems and Computers”. His research includes publications on power quality, power system resilience, and IoT applications.
