What People at N-SIDE Are Saying
“I have been working in the same team as Peter for more than 2 years. In particular, I had very close interactions with him for all this period regarding the Smartnet H2020 project, for which I was the internal N-SIDE project manager. In that 3-years long project, Peter was leading the software architecture of a very complex tool, developed across 5+ companies. In particular, Peter led for N-SIDE the implementation of a market clearing algorithm module. Peter is hard-working, eager to learn, reliable, and always willing to help other colleagues. Business wise, he also developed a very good knowledge of energy markets and the algorithms required to tackle them. Peter also has a deep expertise of optimization tools and solvers. He also has a broad overview of many software development technologies, which is very useful in developing new PoC based on algorithms and innovative tools.”
— Guillaume Leclercq, Head of AI for Energy, N-SIDE, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, March 2020.
“I had the pleasure to work with Peter for about two years at N-SIDE. Peter is an extremely committed person who always strives for excellence in every task he is assigned to perform. While his core expertise spans several aspects of Computer Science and Optimization Research, Peter is capable of mastering new skills in a incredibly short amount of time, which makes him a perfect problem-solver under a wide variety of application fields. His continuous eagerness to learn, combined with his innate sense of creativity, round off a remarkably valuable profile for any organization.”

RSE Milan Opinions about our Collaboration in the SmartNet H2020 Project
“I have been in contact with Peter for the last year in the frame of the SmartNet project and I had the opportunity to appreciate several noteworthy aspects that I would like to signal. First of all his incredible competence on the technical side, that embraces information science (different tools: databases, programming languages, etc), electric engineering, electricity markets and others. However, what I mostly feel like to signal is Peter's seriousness and work commitment. He works a lot, with great competence and with a strict eye to respecting timing. He is really an uncommon collaborator!”

“I am having the opportunity to work with Peter since the last years within the research project SmartNet. In this project, Peter is directly responsible of the development of optimization algorithms aimed at simulating the decision making process behind the electricity balancing market (one of the main objective of the SmartNet). In addition, Peter demonstrates a natural sense of initiative and he is constantly active in supporting many of the other activities with his experience and willingness.”
