Luzzi Lelio
Lelio Luzzi, born in 1968, is Associate Professor of Nuclear Power Plants at Politecnico di Milano. He graduated in Nuclear Engineering (Laurea) in 1994 and completed his Ph.D. in Science and Technology in Nuclear Plants in 1999. He has been visiting scientist at the Materials Research Unit of JRC-Karlsruhe (Germany, 2000-2001) and at the Science and Technology Department of Westinghouse Electric Company (USA, 2003). Since 1999, his research is focused on two main areas: i) development, modelling and characterization of structural components and nuclear fuels (including liquid fuels), supported by thermal-fluid-mechanical analyses and fuel performance code simulations; ii) development of innovative modelling approaches and simulation tools for the analysis of components and nuclear reactors of new generation (LMFRs, MSRs, LWRs, SMRs). He has been the Principal Investigator of numerous competitive projects (EURATOM H2020 and Horizon Europe), as well as of relevant research projects with important companies (Westinghouse) and national/international institutions (IAEA, OECD-NEA, JRC-European Commission, DOE-US, IRSN-France, CEA-France, KIT-Germany, TU-Delft) in the nuclear energy sector, especially for what concerns the nuclear fuel performance.
