Able to communicate fluently in English both at written and spoken level. Willing to deal with clients.

Main functions:

• Perform analysis and identification of problems. Define methodologies for the development of solutions.
• Identify and search for key data sources.
• Development of control models. Design algorithmic models suitable for implementation and subsequent integration with software solutions.
• Implementation of improvements in optimisation, prediction and energy planning models.
• Effective management of databases; statistical analysis; mathematical data processing.

Occasional duties:

• Preparation of publications and presentations. Collaboration in writing technical papers.
• Collaboration in the preparation of technical-economic proposals for competitive research projects.
• Availability to deal continuously with clients in innovation projects with companies.
