Andrea Pezzuolo is a researcher at the University of Padova - Department of Land, Environment, Agriculture, and Forestry with a focus on agricultural and livestock systems engineering; rural buildings and renewable energies.

He got MS degree (cum laude) in Agricultural Sciences and Technologies, from University of Padova in 2010. From 2011 to 2014 had doctorate in Agricultural Engineering in joint supervision with the University of Padova and Veneto Agriculture Research Center. Since 2014 he is a research fellow at the University of Padova - Department of Land, Environment, Agriculture, and Forestry. In 2018 he obtained the National Scientific Qualification to function as Associate Professor.

Currently, he is involved in research projects on Biomass and Bioenergy, Agricultural and Livestock Systems Engineering and Precision Livestock Farming (PLF).
The scientific background has grown up at a national and international level, with active involvement in projects, in collaboration with other university and industrial research centers.
Andrea Pezzuolo has authored and co-authored over 70 papers (52 of which are indexed in Scopus/WoS), and is reviewer for 29 peer-reviewed international journals/6 international conferences indexed in Scopus/WoS.
He supervised more than 95-degree thesis, most of them in the field of Agricultural Engineering, Livestock Systems Engineering and Sensor Technology.

Andrea Pezzuolo is member of:
- Italian Society of Agricultural Engineering (AIIA) affiliated to CIGR (International Commission of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering).
- Interdepartmental Centre “Giorgio Levi Cases” for Energy Economics and Technology of University of Padova.
- LEARH “Land, Environment, Resources and Health” PhD Doctoral program, organized at the Department of Land, Environment, Agriculture, and Forestry - University of Padova.
