Andrea Missaglia

Andrea Missaglia is a Researcher with expertise in nuclear engineering and thermal-hydraulics, focusing on small modular reactors (SMRs), passive safety systems, and radiation therapy technologies. Their work integrates experimental validation, computational modeling (CFD/system codes), and photonuclear reactions for nuclear waste management. Collaborations include ANSALDO NUCLEARE and Thales Alenia Space under the Italian Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR).

Research activities span from 2013-2018 as a Research Assistant at NRGroup, focusing on submerged SMRs and Euratom proposals, to their current R&D role (2022–present) addressing SMR thermal-hydraulics and safety. Missaglia co-supervised 4 Industrial PhD fellowships (2022) requiring 6 months abroad in European R&D centers.

Key technical areas include SMR safety analysis, DYNASTY facility modeling, parametric dynamic mode decomposition, and prompt gamma imaging for carbon ion therapy. Their publications (2021–2025) highlight interdisciplinary work blending nuclear engineering with medical physics and computational methods.

No scientific awards are listed, but their contributions to SMR validation and photonuclear research demonstrate significant technical impact. Missaglia’s advising role in PNRR-funded fellowships reflects ongoing engagement with future nuclear energy professionals.
