Giulia Pedrielli

Giulia Pedrielli is an Associate Professor at Arizona State University's School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence, with affiliations as a Senior Global Futures Scientist. She holds a Ph.D., M.Sc., and B.S. in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering from Politecnico di Milano, Italy. Her research focuses on stochastic simulation, optimization, and machine learning applications in biomanufacturing, digital twins, and cyber-physical systems. She has contributed to frameworks for pandemic modeling (PySIRTEM), RNA design, and high-dimensional optimization. Pedrielli has collaborated with institutions like NUS and UC Berkeley, and her work spans biomedical engineering, supply chain resilience, and security of critical infrastructure. Recent articles emphasize co-simulation tools, AI-driven logic translation, and falsification methods for CPS security. Her teaching includes advanced stochastic simulation courses and thesis supervision across multiple disciplines.
