Albert Molderink received his B.Sc and M.Sc. degree in Computer Science from the University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands, in respectively 2004 and 2007. In addition, he received an Electrical Engineering minor certificate. When he completed his study he started working towards a Ph.D. degree at the University of Twente under supervision of Prof. dr. ir. G.J.M. Smit of the Computer Architecture of Embedded Systems (CAES) group, faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematic and Computer Science. After his graduation he continued working in the same group as a senior researcher (Postdoc).

Albert Molderink is working in a research group that investigates the possibilities of increasing energy efficiency using embedded control, mainly via optimization and control algorithms. The research at the group resulted in a Smart Grid control methodology for distributed generation and Demand Side Management, TRIANA. His research focus is on algorithms to optimize energy streams within a house. His research interests include energy efficiency, mathematical modelling and optimizations, algorithm development and embedded hardware.
