Venerdì 3 maggio, alle ore 15.00, Giorgio Simonini (EdF Lab Chatou, France) terrà il seminario online dal titolo "Performance monitoring for PWR".
L'incontro fa parte del ciclo 2023-24 "Past-students and Expert Webinars in Nuclear Energy", un programma di webinar sull'energia nucleare tenuti da ex-studenti unipi ed esperti internazionali.
Il ciclo è organizzato nell'ambito del progetto ENEN2plus, dell'European Nuclear Education Network.
I webinar si tengono il venerdì pomeriggio.

Giorgio Simonini joined EDF R&D as Research Engineer in 2015. Since then, he has been involved in a multitude of projects whose leitmotif is improving the techno-economic performance of existing and future nuclear power plants (SMR, EPR2). Its expertise is focused on thermal-hydraulic modeling at a system level (i.e. 0D/1D modeling; he is one of the main contributors to the development of the Modelica library ThermoSysPro) and on processing of experimental data coming from the nuclear fleet (visualization, statistics, machine-learning). Digital twins, secondary chemistry monitoring, efficiency monitoring, passive safety systems, core flexibility, hydrogen, coupling of AI and physical models are some of the topics on which Giorgio contributes. He also animates some training at EDF or at the INSTN.
Giorgio graduates in Energy Engineering at the University of Pisa in 2008, after a internship at Westinghouse Nuclear (USA) on CFD analyses on the IRIS SMR. He pursued his specialization in the nuclear domain with a PhD at the CEA-Cadarache on the tempo-spatial representativeness of specific experimental data for a nuclear physics code validation. He also worked at Framatome on the development of new simulation tools for Safety Studies.
