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! +
