n. 1 RESEARCH FELLOW according to part. 24, par. 3, let. a), L. 240/2010 at DICATAM ARF: 09/B2 “Industrial mechanical systems engineering” AD: ING-IND/17 “Industrial mechanical systems engineering”

Title project: Development of models for energy-efficient supply chains
Description of the research program:
The researcher will work in the field of the development of models for the energy efficiency of production logistics systems. In particular, the topics will concern the development of models for the assessment and benchmarking of energy consumption in the different levels of the supply chains of the dairy sector, with explicit reference to the indication of savings opportunities, life cycle assessments, non-energy benefits and behavioural aspects, also with the aim of developing tools to support the training of non-energy experts of the various companies belonging to the supply chains. The development of application tools and their validation on specific case studies will be required. Analytical modelling and simulation tools will be used with specific reference to the analysis, design and management of services and logistics and with particular regard to production/storage/transport technologies in refrigeration contexts also with reference to the potential use of heat pumps and control of storage conditions. The researcher will therefore be called upon to deal with specialists from other engineering sectors, both in the academic and industrial fields, as well as with realities concerning technology transfer.
Teaching activity:
A course or laboratory activity, assigned by the Department of Civil Engineering, Architecture, Land, Environment and Mathematics (DICATAM), compatible with the researcher's scientific and teaching skills.
