Alessandra Parisio

Alessandra Parisio is a professor of control of sustainable energy networks at the University of Manchester, UK. She has been a principal or co-investigator on research projects supported by e.g. Innovate UK, EC H2020, and industrial partners. Sheserves as an IEEE senior member and co-chair of the IEEE RAS Technical Committee on Smart Buildings and as editor of the IEEE Transactions on Control of Network Systems, and the European Journal of Control and Applied Energy. She received the IEEE PES Outstanding Engineer Award in January 2021. Her research interests include distributed optimisation and control, power systems, and optimisation and control of multi-energy networks. She received the IEEE PES Outstanding Engineer Award in January 2021 and the Energy and Buildings Best Paper Award (for a 10-year period between 2008 and 2017) in January 2019. Her main research interests span the areas of control engineering, in particular Model Predictive Control, distributed optimisation and control, stochastic constrained control, and power systems, with energy management systems under uncertainty, optimisation and control of multi-energy networks, and distributed flexibility.
