Biography

Giacomo Marangoni joined the Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management as an assistant professor in 2022. He previously worked at the Department of Management Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Milan in Italy. He completed his PhD in 2017, developing models that support sustainable energy investment decisions under uncertainty, followed by a post-doc at Penn State University in the USA, focusing on climate change risk management. His research revolves around Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) that inform effective climate policies. He has published extensively on topics such as multi-objective optimization, uncertainty analysis, mitigation strategies, feasibility of the clean energy transition, low-carbon scenarios, energy conservation, technological learning, and climate inequality. His teaching has focused on energy-economic modeling, renewables, and big data analysis to solve societal challenges. Currently, Giacomo is involved in the Governance theme of the TU Delft Climate Action Programme (CAP). His work at CAP aims to explore the design of robust model-based climate policies that appropriately account for conflicting environmental and economic objectives, as well as ethical concerns and deep uncertainties.
