معرفی
Pietro Lubello is a Research Fellow in Energy System Modelling at the Bartlett School of Environment, Energy & Resources, University College London (UCL). He holds a PhD in Energy Engineering from Università degli Studi di Firenze, Italy, where his research focused on demand-side flexibility in the residential sector. Prior to joining UCL, he served as a teaching assistant in Florence, worked as a visiting researcher at Université de Liège in Belgium, and provided part-time consulting services in the energy sector.
Dr. Lubello's educational background includes:
- PhD in Energy Engineering, Università degli Studi di Firenze, Italy (2019-2024)
- Visiting PhD Researcher, Université de Liège, Belgium (2021-2022)
- Postgraduate Teaching Assistant, Università degli Studi di Firenze (2019-2022)
- Postgraduate Research Assistant, Università degli Studi di Firenze (2019)
Dr. Lubello's research focuses on energy system modeling for policy advisory, with particular emphasis on both the Global South context and Europe. Since joining UCL, he has been actively involved in developing national integrated energy models and strategies for Kenya. His specific areas of interest include power sector development, clean cooking solutions, transport sector transformation, and future hydrogen applications. Prior to his work at UCL, his research primarily centered on the European residential sector, investigating demand flexibility and energy communities. His work combines technical energy modeling with socio-economic considerations to inform practical policy solutions for sustainable energy transitions.
Dr. Lubello's publication record demonstrates a strong focus on energy modeling applications, particularly in Kenya and other developing contexts. His recent work shows increasing emphasis on geospatial energy modeling, hydrogen applications, and integrated sectoral approaches to energy planning. He has developed expertise in both residential energy systems and large-scale national energy planning, with a consistent thread of applying modeling to inform real-world policy decisions.
Dr. Lubello actively contributes to teaching at UCL, supporting the 'Introduction to Modelling Methods and Scenarios' module. Previously, he assisted teaching activities for graduate courses at Università degli Studi di Firenze, including 'Industrial energy management' and 'Advanced energy systems,' where he delivered lectures on energy storage technologies and LNG supply chain.
