+### About Luigi Vanfretti
+Luigi Vanfretti (SMIEEE'14) obtained the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in electric power engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, USA, in 2007 and 2009, respectively.
+
+He was with KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden, as Assistant 2010-2013), and Associate Professor (Tenured) and Docent (2013-2017/August); where he lead the SmarTS Lab and research group. He also worked at Statnett SF, the Norwegian electric power transmission system operator, as consultant (2011 - 2012), and Special Advisor in R&D (2013 - 2016).
+
+He joined Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in August 2017, to continue to develop his research at ALSETLab.
+
+His research interests are in the area of synchrophasor technology applications; and cyber-physical power system modeling, simulation, stability and control.
+
+### About ALSETLab
+ALSETLab is the name of Luigi's research group and also the real-time hardware-in-the-loop laboratory being built at RPI. The acronym stands for (ALSET: Analysis Laboratory for Synchrophasor and Electrical energy Technology) and (Lab: for Lab).
+
+> Note: although the acronym is more of an excuse for using the name of Nikola Tesla somehow, read ALSET backwards!
