Alessandra Zannini pursued her Master’s degree in Renewable Energy Engineering at the Politecnico di Torino, graduating in October 2025. Her Master’s thesis deals with the potential use of metals to store and transport carbon-neutral energy, as described in the Clean-Circles project. Her numerical analysis focuses on the detection and characterization of the flame front that occurs in iron particle cloud combustion, both with and without fluid motion.

In November 2025, she entered the world of internal combustion engines thanks to the Ph.D. she began at the e3 Research Group. This research work, carried out in collaboration with Yanmar, aims to develop control-oriented predictive and real-time combustion models for internal combustion engines operating with alternative fuels.
