Chiara Chiatti

She holds a degree in Building Engineering-Architecture and in 2023 earned her PhD in Energy and Sustainable Development from the University of Perugia. In 2022, she spent four months as a Visiting Student Research Collaborator (VSRC) at Princeton University (New Jersey, USA), where she furthered her research on innovative solutions for the built environment. 

During her doctoral studies and subsequently as a postdoctoral researcher, she has participated—and continues to participate—in national research projects (PRIN, FISR, and other ministry-funded programs) as well as international projects, mainly funded by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe programmes. 

Her scientific activity mainly focuses on: (i) the development and characterization of advanced materials to improve the energy efficiency and sustainability of buildings, and (ii) the analysis of environmental comfort through a multiphysics approach, with particular attention to the thermal, visual, and acoustic domains. 

Through collaborations with national and international industrial partners, she has established a scientific profile that integrates theoretical, numerical, and experimental expertise, as well as technology transfer skills and the valorization of intellectual property. The main results of her research activities have been published in leading international journals, where she is listed as first author in over half of the contributions.
