In order to perform successful research, a master's degree in a technical-scientific area is needed (Civil, Building, Environmental or IT engineering). Ideally, the successful candidate should be able to work in a multidisciplinary team and an international context and have a basic knowledge of:- Energy efficiency in buildings, renewable energy resources, building automation systems, smart grids, Building facility management, Digital Building Twin- Building information modelling and computational design- Building performance simulations tools (EnergyPlus, Modelica, LCA tools, etc.)- Programming tools such as matlab/simulink/plecs/C sharp/python- Big data analytics and artificial intelligence techniques (neural networks, machine learning, etc.)

The research team is composed by an interdisciplinary group with extensive collaborative academic and industrial networks in Italy, Europe and globally, which includes, in addition to the reference person Prof. Marco Casini, the professors Livio De Santoli, Carlo Rondinini, Maurizio Barbieri, Fausto Manes, Angelo Lalli, Mariella Nocenzi, and Maurizio Muscaritoli, all members of the ""Sapienza Scientific-Technical Commitee on Sustainability"".The research activities will be carried out in an integrated environment within the Department of Urban Planning, Design and Technology of Architecture (PDTA), of Department of Aerospace, Electrical and Energy engineering (DIAEE), and of Department Computer, Control, and Management Engineering (DIAG) and the Interdepartmental Research Center for Territory Buildings, Environment and Restoration (CITERA), of Sapienza University.
