Nicola Pedroni

Nicola Pedroni is an Associate Professor at the Department of Energy (DENERG) of Politecnico di Torino, Italy. His research focuses on advanced computational methods for nuclear safety, uncertainty quantification, and artificial intelligence applications in risk assessment. He has held external academic roles at institutions including MIT, École Centrale Paris, and CEA Saclay.

• Research Interests: Artificial Intelligence, Monte Carlo Methods, Nuclear Safety, Uncertainty Quantification, Probabilistic Risk Assessment, Resilience Analysis

His recent work spans inverse uncertainty quantification, fault detection in safety-critical systems, and metamodeling techniques for nuclear reactor analysis. He serves on editorial boards for Frontiers in Nuclear Engineering, Energies, and Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part O.

Pedroni leads the ARISTOTELES project on AI and stochastic simulation for critical infrastructure resilience and contributes to the EU-funded ENDURANCE project for molten salt reactor safety. He supervises PhD student George Afful and teaches courses in nuclear plant modeling and risk analysis.
