Matteo Nicoli

Matteo Nicoli is a Research Fellow at Politecnico di Torino's Department of Energy (DENERG), affiliated with the Energy Department District (D.ENERG). He serves as an external teacher for courses like 'Models and Scenarios for Energy Planning' in Energy and Nuclear Engineering, and collaborates on the 'Computational Heat Exchange Laboratory' module. His research focuses on energy system optimization models (e.g., TEMOA-Italy), sustainable development goals (SDGs), carbon emissions accounting, and policy coherence.

Key research themes include energy transition pathways, critical raw material impacts, open-source modeling frameworks, and hydrogen/nuclear fusion technologies. He contributes to the MAHTEP Research Group and has authored over 15 peer-reviewed articles since 2021. Recent work emphasizes risk-aware energy planning, hurdle rates in policy analysis, and regional adaptation of energy models (e.g., TEMOA-Piedmont).

No awards or grants are explicitly listed, but his collaborative projects highlight interdisciplinary work with institutions like Springer and international peers. His teaching and research activities emphasize bridging academic models with real-world policy implications for decarbonization and energy security.
