Biography

I received the B.Sc. degree in Energy Engineering in 2017 and the M.Sc. degree in Energy and Nuclear Engineering in 2019 from Politecnico di Torino. My Master course focused on renewable energy generation, especially from solar and wind sources. During the Master period, I spent one semester abroad at Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (Denmark) with the Erasmus+/EU Programme Countries project. Then, I had the opportunity to carry out an internship in an Italian company operating in the renewable energy sector. In the meantime, I collaborated on an experimental innovative project of Politecnico di Torino to quantify the energy benefits provided by the creation of an energy community, showing the results in my Master thesis.
I am now enrolled in the 36th Ph.D. cycle at Politecnico di Torino, after a six-month research scholarship. My research activity is focused on designing appropriate power generation systems from local renewable energy sources and investigating energy exchanges in the context of energy communities.
