Pellegrini Marco
Marco Pellegrini, born in Milan in 1984, has been an associate professor at the Department of Energy at Politecnico di Milano since September 2024. He graduated with honours in Energy Engineering in 2009 from POLIMI and obtained his PhD from the Department of Nuclear Engineering in 2012 at the Tokyo Institute of Technology. He then worked as a researcher at NUPEC (Japan), studying the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident in support of recovery initiatives. From 2019, he became a lecturer at the Department of Nuclear Engineering at the University of Tokyo until 2024, when he returned to Italy. His research focuses on the study of nuclear safety using computational and experimental methods. In particular, he worked on the development of Japanese software for severe accidents called SAMPSON, focusing on the integration of CFD for the study of multiphase processes in severe accidents. He has been involved in numerous international projects, notably leading the OECD/NEA reference study on the Fukushima accident. He has received numerous awards from the Atomic Energy Society of Japan for his contributions to clarifying the progression of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident, promoting international cooperation, and advancing the development of severe accident codes. He has also received various awards from the American Nuclear Society (e.g., the Best Paper Award at NURETH-18 in 2019 and the Young Research Achievement Award in 2011).
