Angela Ciotola

Angela Ciotola is a doctoral student at the Institute for Technology Assessment and Systems Analysis (ITAS) within the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) since 2021. She is supported by the DAAD scholarship for her bi-nationally supervised PhD program between Politecnico di Milano (Italy) and KIT (Germany).

• Education
  • PhD candidate in Energy and Resource Management (2021–present)
  • M.Sc. in Safety and Prevention Engineering for the Process Industry (Politecnico di Milano, 2020)
  • B.Sc. in Chemical Engineering (Politecnico di Milano, 2017)

Her research focuses on risk assessment and sustainability analysis for energy technologies, particularly solar photovoltaics and raw material supply chains. Key projects include the RESUR Helmholtz Platform for robust energy systems and the sustainable supply chain of metals for solar technology markets.

Recent publications emphasize methodological frameworks combining risk engineering, lifecycle analysis, and sustainability assessment. Themes include solar technology evaluation, raw material security, and data-scarce process sustainability.

• Scientific Awards
  • DAAD scholarship for bi-nationally supervised doctoral degrees (cotutelle)

Professionally, she has served as a Risk Analyst at Symlogik srl (Italy) since 2019 and collaborates via networks like ORCID, ResearchGate, and LinkedIn. Her work bridges technical risk analysis with policy design for sustainable energy transitions.
