I specialise in decision-making under risk and uncertainty, stochastic optimisation of energy systems, statistical learning, reliability and resilience.
The University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI) is one of the nine professional universities recognised by the Swiss Confederation. The Institute of Applied Sustainability to the Built Environment (ISAAC) within the Department of Environment Constructions and Design (DACD) at SUPSI, promotes the energy transition towards a zero-emission society based on an inter- and transdisciplinary approach in the areas of characterisation and reliability of photovoltaics and their integration in the building, intelligent management of renewable energy in the grid, energy efficiency of buildings and their maintenance. The complex energy transition also includes the proposal of more sustainable choices and lifestyles, involving local and civil society stakeholders. Among the many goals of the DACD, one is to promote interprofessional and transdisciplinary cultures and practices.
Roberto Rocchetta is a distinguished researcher within the Intelligent Energy Systems group at SUPSI-DACD-ISAAC. He holds a Master's degree in Energy Engineering from the University of Bologna (Italy) and a Ph.D. in Reliability Engineering from the University of Liverpool (UK). His career includes significant tenures at renowned institutions such as NIA/NASA-Langley (Virginia, USA) and TU Eindhoven. Roberto's research expertise lies in decision-making under risk and uncertainty, intelligent energy systems management and optimisation, uncertainty quantification, and reliability/risk-based design. His multidisciplinary approach integrates concepts from system reliability engineering, statistical learning theory, stochastic optimisation, uncertainty quantification, and machine learning. Roberto has contributed more than 15 peer-reviewed journal articles and his work (2018-2024), garnered over 1300 citations, underscoring its significant impact on the academic and research community.
