Dr. Paolo Mocellin is a researcher in Chemical Engineering at the University of Padova, where he co-leads the Safety research group. After graduating in 2013 in Chemical and Industrial Processes Engineering with a dissertation on the safety of carbon sequestration infrastructure, he earned the Ph.D. degree in Chemical Engineering in 2017. As a Ph.D. student was the recipient of the Excellence Award in Process Safety from the European Federation of Chemical Engineering in 2019.
His research interests comprise safety and risk analysis of industrial chemical processes, development of inherently safer processes, modelling and simulation of hazardous processes and accidental scenarios, and fire safety engineering.
He is the author or co-author of 50+ peer-reviewed papers and some technical literature contributions. He is the co-author of one patent.
He held several collaborations with leading companies and Universities in Italy and abroad.
He serves as a delegate in the Working Party on Safety and Education of the Italian Engineering Council.
His teaching experience includes the following courses:
• Industrial Process Safety and Risk Analysis
• Occupational hygiene
• Science and engineering of fire prevention
