\nNiccolo Giannetti is an Associate Professor at Waseda Institute for Advanced Study.\u00a0 \u00a0He studied Mechanical Engineering at the University of Florence, Italy, and earned his doctoral degree at Waseda University, Japan.\u00a0 His research spans across the study of thermal systems from the fundamental modelling of transport phenomena to the optimization of components, systems, and control strategies.\u00a0 His major contributions are related to the development of a new theoretical framework of these systems based on the variational principles of nonequilibrium thermodynamics, the incorporation of such numerical models within new evolutionary algorithms for component optimization, and the consequent training of artificial intelligence for effective performance monitoring techniques and self-learning control.\u00a0 He aims at integrating these techniques for decarbonizing thermal energy management.<\/p>\nJU Yiyi
