Laura Savoldi

Prof. Laura Savoldi is a Professor at the Department of Energy 'Galileo Ferraris' at Politecnico di Torino, Italy. Her research focuses on concentrated solar power, cryogenics, advanced heat transfer, nuclear fusion engineering, superconducting materials, and energy system modeling. She collaborates extensively with institutions like ENEA and has co-authored over 293 publications.

Her work bridges thermal-fluid dynamics and nuclear engineering, with recent studies on fusion reactor components, superconducting cables, and renewable energy systems. Key contributions include optimizing CSP receiver designs, quench detection in HTS systems, and radioactive waste conditioning processes. She leads interdisciplinary projects such as the TEMOA-Piedmont energy model.
