Roberto Zanino

Roberto Zanino (Senior Member, IEEE) received the M.Sc. degree in nuclear engineering and the Ph.D. degree in energetics from the Politecnico di Torino, Turin, Italy. He has been a Professor of nuclear engineering with the Energy Department, Politecnico di Torino, since 2000. He has authored or coauthored over 200 articles that appeared in international journals devoted to the computational modeling in the fields of relevance for nuclear fusion (superconducting magnets and cryogenics, plasma–wall interactions, and high heat flux components), nuclear fission (Gen-IV lead-cooled fast reactors), and concentrated solar power (central tower system receivers). Prof. Zanino is a member of the American Nuclear Society and regularly serves as a Referee for IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity.
