About the author
Roberto Castello is a scientific collaborator at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology of Lausanne (EPFL) at the Laboratory of Solar Energy and Building Physics. As a physicist, he has worked for several years at CERN in Geneva. He contributed to the discovery of the Higgs boson and to other measurements in fundamental physics through the use of advanced statistical techniques on large volumes of data collected by the LHC accelerator.
He is interested in the applications of scientific methods and advanced technologies for solving problems related to sustainability, particularly in the field of renewable energy. He is currently working on the estimation of Switzerland’s renewable energy potential in the framework of the Swiss National Science Foundation NRP75 project ‘HyEnergy’. His areas of research and interest include building physics, urban systems simulation, machine learning and statistical techniques, particularly their application in the energy domain.
