معرفی
Dr. Andrea Bernardi is a Research Fellow at the Sargent Centre for Process System Engineering within Imperial College London's Faculty of Engineering. He specializes in techno-economic analysis (TEA), life cycle assessment (LCA), and supply chain optimization, focusing on sustainable chemical processes, circular economy strategies, and personalized healthcare manufacturing. His work addresses challenges in chemical recycling of plastic waste, sustainable production of platform chemicals, and reducing environmental footprints in pharmaceuticals.
Dr. Bernardi holds a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Padova (2015) and has conducted research at the University of Padova on biofuels from microalgae. His current projects include the National Interdisciplinary Centre for the Circular Chemical Economy and the Future Targeted Healthcare Manufacturing Hub. He contributes to Imperial's Network of Excellence in Sustainability through Life Cycle Approaches.
His research spans
- Circular chemical systems (e.g., Waste-to-X, methane valorization)
- Enviro-economic evaluation of low-carbon fuels (aviation, hydrogen)
- Supply chain optimization for personalized therapies and biopharmaceuticals
- Machine learning-driven decomposition methods for complex supply chains
Recent studies analyze trade-offs between electricity grid decarbonization vs. green methanol fuels, stakeholder-based evaluations of low-carbon technologies, and carbon circularity in methane utilization. His work bridges quantitative process modeling with sustainability policy implications.
Key affiliations include the Sargent Centre and collaborations with the Future Targeted Healthcare Manufacturing Hub. No student advisees are explicitly listed in the provided texts.
