Short bio

Working at EURAC since 2014, I am involved in various European research projects about sustainable heating and cooling applications, especially in the district heating sector (LIFE4HeatRecovery, REWARDHeat, LocalRES, Hypergryd and others). Notable past projects also include energy efficiency in industry (REEMAIN project) and solar thermal energy (INSUN project). Other research interests include the coupling between electric and thermal energy sectors, energy scenario design and optimization, energy transitions. Previous working experience: researcher at FBK (Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Italy). I hold a PhD in theoretical physics.
