Biography

Prof. RAFFAELE PIRONE received a PhD in Chemical Engineering in 1996 and is Full Professor of Industrial and Technological Chemistry at the Polytechnic of Turin (since 01/27/2011). He had previously held the position of Senior Researcher at the Research Institute on Combustion of the CNR (1/08/1996 - 26/01/2011). He teaches in three different degree programs at the Polytechnic of Turin: Industrial Chemistry, Sustainability in the chemical industry and Sustainable use of biomass for energy purposes. From 10/1/2012 to 9/30/2021, he served as the Program Coordinator for the Degree Programs in Chemical and Food Engineering, Chemical and Sustainable Process Engineering, and Textile Engineering. From October 1, 2015, to 2021, he coordinated the College of Chemical and Materials Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Turin. From May 2021 to March 2024, he served as the Rector's Coordinator for the implementation of the "Transition Engineering" Training Project at the Polytechnic University of Turin. He is the holder of a series of research projects funded through calls for proposals or by awarding them to institutions (two PRIN projects, one PON project, one 7th EU FP project, two contracts with ENEA, and three industrial contracts with companies). Since 2005, he has been an expert consultant for CSEA, supporting the application of energy regulations and evaluating research projects (Mission Innovation and System Research).
