Arianna Baldinelli is a fixed-term researcher (RTD-A) in Machinery and Energy Systems at the University of Pisa, where she works within the Department of Energy, Systems, Territory and Construction Engineering. Before coming to Pisa, she held the same position at the University of Perugia, where she graduated with honors in Mechanical Engineering and earned her PhD in Industrial Engineering in 2017. She is registered with the Order of Engineers of Perugia.
Her scientific work focuses on sustainable energy technologies: from green hydrogen to biofuels such as ammonia, from the integration of renewable sources to storage systems, always with an eye on decarbonizing the most energy-intensive sectors, spanning industry and mobility.
She is the author of numerous scientific papers (ResearchGate) and serves on the international editorial boards of Sustainable Energy Technologies and Assessments, Fuel Communications (Elsevier), and Processes (MDPI).
She has contributed to multiple national and European research projects — including Electrou, Tvb, Hermes, NEST, Por H2 and H2MOVE as a team member, and POSEIDON as Principal Investigator — and takes part in advanced training initiatives such as NetTools (Horizon2020) and HySchools (Erasmus+). Her work has led her to collaborate with research groups in several countries, including IEN (Instytut Energetyki – Institute of Power Engineering, Poland), TU Graz (Austria), University of Adrar (Algeria), CDER URERMS (Centre de Développement des Énergies Renouvelables, Algeria), NCEPU (North China Electric Power University, China), and İskenderun Teknik Üniversitesi (Turkey).
She actively participates in conferences on energy systems and fuel conversion technologies and collaborates with the scientific boards of the Italian Workshop on Ammonia Energy (2025 Edition hosted at the University of Pisa*) and SDEWES (Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems).
In 2024, she received the Hydrogen Europe Research Young Scientist Award in the “Hydrogen Usages” category, in recognition of her innovative contribution to research on hydrogen as a key tool for the energy transition.
