Guglielmo Lomonaco

Guglielmo Lomonaco serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical, Energy, Management and Transport Engineering (DIME) at the University of Genoa, where he coordinates the Mechanical, Energy and Aeronautical Engineering Course Council. His teaching portfolio includes core courses such as Applied Energetics and Thermodynamics, Fundamentals of Energetics and Heat Transmission, Advanced Nuclear Plants, and Design and Optimization of Industrial Thermal Components across multiple mechanical engineering degree programs.

His research focuses on next-generation nuclear systems, spanning Supercritical Water-Cooled Reactors (SCWR), High-Temperature Reactors (HTR), and Fusion-Fission Hybrid Reactors (FFHR). Key investigation areas include reactor safety analysis, hydrogen production integration, tritium breeding technologies, and energy conversion efficiency. His work bridges theoretical reactor physics with practical engineering applications for sustainable energy solutions.

Recent 2025 publications demonstrate consistent specialization in nuclear technology readiness assessment and safety validation. The publication pattern reveals strong emphasis on Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), failure mode analysis for hydrogen production systems, and neutronics optimization for fusion applications. Cross-cutting themes include technology deployment challenges, thermal-hydraulic performance, and innovative blanket designs for fuel breeding.
