Aldo Bischi

Following a M.Sc in Mechanical Engineering (2007) from University of Perugia (Italy), Aldo received his Ph.D. in “Energy and Process Engineering” (2012) from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology-NTNU (Norway) working on chemical reactor systems design, construction and commissioning applied to Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). From 2012 until 2015, Aldo held an adjunct professorship and post-doctoral position in the “Group of Energy COnversion Systems” – GECOS at Politecnico di Milano (Italy), being awarded of prestigious “Polimi International Fellowships”. He worked on distributed power generation: Combined Cooling, Heat and Power (CCHP) systems, dealing with all CCHP aspects from technical to economic point of view. Since 2016 he worked as Assistant Professor at Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Russian Federation), Associate Professor in 2021. In Skoltech he extended his research to the flexibilization of energy systems in several directions, ranging from the integration of energy infrastructures electric, thermal and gas networks, to electric and thermal energy storage integration, as well as load control and uncertainty impact; the latter in a joint project with Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA, where he spent a trimester in 2017 as Visiting Scientist in the department of Mechanical Engineering. From July 2021 he was appointed as Assistant Professor at the University of Pisa, Italy, where he widened his activities to the P2P energy markets and blockchain applied to energy systems. In Pisa he is Principal Investigator in the EU project "Computer aided desing for next generation flow batteries", GA:875565 (https://compbat.eu/). In the meantime, he co-founded an innovative start-up, TIFEO srl which is member of a consortium that got awarded an H2020 RIA Grant: “Next renewable multi-generation technology enabled by two-phase fluids machines”. He co-chaired international conferences such as the COST Action final conference: TD1207. "Optimization for efficient and robust energy networks” and got awarded by the Italian Ministry of Education the Associate Professor habilitation for thermal machines and energy systems.
