Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFrancesco Lombardi is an assistant professor at TU Delft specializing in multi-scale integrated energy system design, with eight years of experience developing computational methods that bridge district- to country-scale decarbonisation. He created the SPORES algorithm and champions "Modelling to Generate Alternatives" to produce many practically viable, stakeholder-relevant design options rather than a single optimal solution. Francesco leads development of the open-source RAMP tool for stochastic simulation of user-driven energy demand—widely used by academic and industrial partners to model contexts lacking metered data, such as new districts or future EV fleets. His work blends optimisation, robustness analysis, and human-in-the-loop methods to surface consensus solutions and incorporate qualitative concerns like energy justice into technical appraisal. Active in the Open Energy Modelling Initiative and multiple cross‑institutional collaborations, he focuses on interoperable, plug-and-play tools that make advanced modelling methods accessible to practitioners and policymakers.
