SORRENTINO Nicola
He graduated with honours in Industrial Engineering from the University of Calabria in 1994. At the same University, he received the title of Ph.D. in Information Systems and Computer Engineering in 1999 and since 2004 he has been a researcher in Electrical Systems Energy. He has more than one hundred publications in international journals and conference proceedings. He has been in charge of research for various projects fi nanced from the national and regional competitive tender (PON and POR), and he is a member of the research team of research projects of national interest (PRIN). He is a promoter of University Spin Off CRETE ES that deals with technologies and systems for energy production from renewable energy and sustainable energy. He has played, both as a member of the Scientifi c Technical Committee as well as the Director of the Consortium CRETE, implementation activities in the territory of actions for sustainable development from an energy point of view of the same. From 2012, he has been an expert for the evaluation of research projects in the electricity sector for the Italian Authority AEEGSI.
