Angela Russo

Dr. Angela Russo serves as an Associate Professor at the Department of Energy (DENERG) of Politecnico di Torino, Italy, where she teaches "Fundamentals of Electrical Installations" for Electrical Engineering and "Industrial Electrical Systems" for Management Engineering across multiple academic cycles (2019/20–2025/26). Her research centers on modern power system challenges including active distribution networks and energy community integration.

Her work demonstrates strong alignment with Sustainable Development Goal 7 (Affordable and clean energy), focusing on practical implementations of distributed energy resources and microgrid technologies. Recent publications reveal a consistent trajectory toward optimizing energy dispatch, storage systems, and market configurations within evolving grid infrastructures, with increasing emphasis on European energy transition frameworks.

Prof. Russo actively contributes to academic governance as Publications Chair for major conferences including UPEC 2020 and IEEE PES ISGT Europe 2017, while serving on the editorial board of ENERGIES since 2017. She currently supervises PhD candidate Gulshan Mustafayeva and leads two significant research initiatives: EU-DREAM (2024–2027), an EU-funded project empowering energy consumers, and SUERTE TO GREEN (2023–2025), a PNRR Mission 4 project developing sustainable energy solutions for road tunnels operating as microgrids.

As a core member of the GUSEE research group within DENERG, she bridges theoretical advancements with real-world energy system applications, particularly in distribution network modernization and renewable integration scenarios requiring advanced optimization techniques under uncertainty.
