Background
Dr Emanuele Pagone is Research Fellow in Sustainable Manufacturing Modelling at Cranfield University. He has 15+ years of experience in modelling and simulation of sustainable systems using commercial tools or developing his own computational codes.He received a degree with honours in Mechanical Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Bari (Italy) and obtained in 2009 an MRes by Cranfield University studying the performance of a family of Carbon Capture and Storage thermodynamic cycles in collaboration with E.ON. Between 2010 and 2013 this collaboration has been extended funding his main PhD project where he led groups of researchers (totalling 18 MSc students and one doctoral researcher) on the multi-disciplinary assessment of sustainable energy systems. During this time he also contributed to the FP6 EU project NEWAC on the multi-disciplinary appraisal of aircraft propulsion engines and to a project with Samsung Techwin (now Hanwha Aerospace).
In 2013, Dr Pagone was appointed Research Fellow at Cranfield University leading the technical work of the University group on the design of a hybrid electric aircraft propulsion system for an Innovate UK project in collaboration with Rolls-Royce and Airbus Group. In 2016 he joined the Sustainable Manufacturing Systems Centre contributing to the successful conclusion of the first phase and to the bidding for the second phase of UK EPSRC projects on sustainable metal casting. He has also worked on 5 other projects with the industry.
Dr Pagone has published 20+ international, peer-reviewed research papers and one book (m-index 1). He is a scientific committee member of international conferences on sustainability (chairing and organising ordinary and special sessions) and reviewer both for high impact factor international journals and international research funding bodies. He has advised and supervised 35+ MSc theses, 5 Group Projects (about 30 students) and 4 doctoral researchers (3 ongoing).
