Thesis abstract

In the field of industrial ecology, I integrate Input-Output Analysis and Life Cycle Assessment to evaluate the environmental impacts of economic activities. My research seeks to assess how trade and environmental policies interact, with a particular focus on the supply chains of technologies involved in the global energy transition.I am developing a methodology to improve the granularity of impact assessment databases, supporting data-driven policy with better representation of emerging technologies.
This effort contributes to the goals of the Horizon Europe ENTICE project, also in collaboration with the start-up eNextGen, a spin-off of PoliMi.

Personal interest in my research theme

In the great challenge the world is facing to reconcile the three pillars of sustainability, I am eager to work to quantify as much as possible the impacts, including indirect ones, of human activities on the natural and social spheres.
Even though my academic path at Politecnico di Milano may seem non linear, the integration of modeling skills developed with Mathematical Engineering with the sector-specific knowledge gained in Energy Engineering has equipped me with a adequate preparation to deal with Energy Scenarios and Impact Assessment Modelling.
