CEO, Business Development Manager
Matteo Zanchi
Environmental engineer and researcher at the Politecnico University, in Milan, I have gained over 20 years experience in companies and institutions, public and private, as manager of energy efficiency and renewable energy projects, in Italy and abroad. Consultant of the European Commission for the evaluation of funding calls, with ENERSEM adventure I’m discovering every day the professional excitement of entrepreneurship and the social mission of this work. I am proud to lead a group of brilliant colleagues from the start-up phase to the more established stage. I am passionate about cycling and try to use it also for business trips from my home town in Brianza to Milan.
R&D Manager
Antoine Frein
Energy engineer in France and researcher at the Politecnico University, in Milan, here I did a PhD in the Energy Department after obtaining a double degree in Denmark dedicated to renewable energy. I am an expert in the integration of renewable energy sources and thermal recovery in industrial processes, numerical analysis and systems dynamic simulation, which in ENERSEM I apply to the monitoring and diagnostics during energy audits. I deal with Research and Development, devoting myself especially to products for Industry 4.0, for example with Cimberio S.p.A.. When I don’t work, I dedicate myself to family, friends and mountain sports: in particular, I really appreciate ski mountaineering.
Digital Solutions Manager
Emanuele Mason
Environmental engineer and researcher at the Politecnico University, in Milano, I specialize in algorithms to optimize the use of natural resources, putting together data of various kinds and taking care to communicate and visualize the results. My work in ENERSEM focuses on modelling, programming and software architecture. Specifically, I develop and implement dynamic conceptual models and models based on Machine Learning techniques in Energy field and experimental data management platforms. As a programmer, I design computer architecture of cloud systems. In my spare time, I practice traditional Chinese martial arts: Meihuaquan and Tai Chi.
Operations Manager
Matteo Muscherà
Construction engineer and researcher in the Energy sector at Politecnico University, in Milan, I am an expert in monitoring, energy diagnosis in civil and industrial field, analysis and optimization of HVAC plants. For ENERSEM I am taking care of the audits for LIFE TTGG project, in Italy and other European countries: the aim is to quantify consumption and to elaborate a range of solutions for energy efficiency and environmental footprint reduction. When I take off the ENERSEM jacket I love to wear the No. 3 for Friday soccer or embrace my electric guitar for some rock’n’roll. Although, with a baby at home, rock’n’roll never stops.
Senior Energy Analyst
Riccardo Nesa
Energy engineer and researcher in the field of energy efficiency, in ENERSEM I developed management and operational skills that allowed me to confront immediately with important players such as Edison, Vodafone and Cimberio. I carry out energy diagnostics aimed at identifying efficiency solutions for the use and conversion of energy, with particular attention to sustainability. I use my skills for consulting and for the design of new commercial products for industrial air conditioning. When I am not at work, I consume all my energy in demanding sports that require control and determination such as horseback riding and mountain climbing.
Senior Energy Analyst
Damiano Ranzini
Graduated in Energy Engineering at the Politecnico di Milano, I decided to specialize in the production and conversion of electricity. Thanks to different job experiences – first of all in an industrial boiler and heat exchanger company, then with an ESCo – I discovered the charm of problem solving, for which I have developed a real passion. In particular, I try to understand how to apply information technology to energy issues, to work and to allow our clients to work in a simple and efficient way. In Enersem I deal with energy diagnoses and energy efficiency studies, with company visits to analyze processes and services and offer each customer the most suitable solutions for their specific context and needs.
In addition to information technology, but in a completely different field, my other great passion is singing.
Algorithm Developer
Noemi Barrera
After a Master’s degree in Mathematical Engineering, I obtained a double Ph.D. between Italy – in Mathematical Physics – and France – in Mechanical Engineering – with a thesis on smart materials. After three years of research at the University of Tel Aviv and a collaboration with the Politecnico of Milano, I started my adventure with ENERSEM. I focus on algorithm development, mainly dealing with optimization and data analysis problems. My goal is to support the mathematical formalization of problems and the implementation of Data Science and Machine Learning algorithms. Besides research, I have some other passions: playing piano, reading, swimming and hiking.
Technical Sales Engineer
Fabrizio Mayta Moscoso
After graduating in Energy Engineering at Politecnico di Milano, I chose to specialize in the energy aspects of industrial processes. I love Mathematics and Physics, especially Calculus. Nevertheless, I consider myself an atypical engineer for at least two reasons: I love writing, thus explaining myself to those who read me; I never have clear ideas at the beginning and I eventually follow the flow. I arrived at ENERSEM through an announcement on the PoliMi portal and now I am mainly working on consulting towards software implementation. In my spare time I like going to the gym or meeting my friends from different towns. My secret dream? A motorbike.
Energy Analyst
Roberto Roda
I got a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering in Florence, where I was born, and a Master’s Degree in Energy Engineering at the Politecnico di Milano, where I also graduated at Ridef 2.0 Master. I had my first job experience working on photovoltaic system design and feasibility studies in the renewable energy field. Now, in ENERSEM, I deal with energy efficiency proposals, field surveys and data analysis with Python. I love acquiring new skills and, for the same reason, I like studying new languages, such as Japanese and German. When I’m not playing the keyboard, I’m likely planning my next trip… or just taking a train to visit a city I don’t know yet.
Models and Process Analyst
Amedeo Cerio
From my hometown Campobasso I moved to Rome for the Bachelor’s Degree in Energy Engineering, then to Turin for the Master’s Degree in Nuclear Engineering. In my first work experience I get into contact with the world of industrial energy efficiency, so I converted my plans with a final issue on trigeneration within a chemical multinational. I came to ENERSEM for software development and consulting activities for complex energy projects. Specifically, I deal with project management, monitoring and data analysis. When I’m not working I play football, tennis and FantaSanremo. I also love reading, writing and playing the guitar.
Models and Process Analyst
Valentina Tawadrous
I graduated in Energy Engineering and specialized in Thermotechnics, with a particular focus on residential energy systems. I have a keen understanding of energy legislation, regarding both Italian and European regulations. Initially, I worked in the design of systems and building envelopes within the residential sector. However, at Enersem, I expanded my expertise to include the tertiary and industrial sectors. This was a crucial opportunity for me to venture into entirely new areas without specific prior experience. I apply my knowledge of efficiency measures, both from my educational background and from my experience in the company, and now I also independently manage various aspects of projects. Although I was born in Milan, my dream is to live by the sea or in the countryside. I have an Egyptian Coptic surname and in my free time study Arabic, to better understand the customs and culture of my family in Cairo, fostering and maintaining strong relationships with them.
Models and Process Analyst
Bruno Bišćević
I hold dual passports (Italian and Croatian) and possess a double degree in Energy Engineering. I lead a double life: an engineer by day and a fencing instructor by evening—a sport I pursued until competing at the world championships. I joined Enersem just a week after defending my thesis on fuel cells in May 2023, immediately immersing myself in inspections, energy diagnoses, and the formulation of proposals for efficiency measures. This is the aspect of the job that I like most: as an instructor I enjoy understanding my students and guiding them on the best path based on their abilities, in my professional life I do the same and I envision tailored paths for the specific needs of the people I work with. Observing the career trajectories of my colleagues, I am open to the possibility of returning to university for a PhD. Perhaps at a later stage, and possibly in Barcelona.
Communication Consultant
Daniela Faggion
Journalist, copywriter, press office, I was welcomed in this community of engineers due to – I guess – my passion for the organization, subject of my book “Tutto a posto!”, that means: everything in its place! No math report has been falsified to realize my collaboration.
Senior Accountant
Silvia Palamara
After graduating in Accounting, I first obtained the Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science with a specialization in Human Resources, then the Master’s Degree in Economic Sciences with a specialization in administration, auditing and control. I started working while I was still studying, so I have been an accountant in different companies, from junior to senior level, also taking care of the financial statements. In Enersem I deal with project reporting, accounting, administration and personnel management. I love especially two things about my job: understanding what happens by interpreting numbers and putting your head into it until everything squares. In my free time I love to travel, listen to music and go to rock concerts.
Founding partner, Scientific Coordinator
Mario Motta
I am coordinator of RELAB – Renewable heating and cooling Laboratory – and professor at the Department of Energy of Politecnico University, Milan. I direct the operations of about 30 researchers, dealing with rational use of energy, renewable energy in the civil sector, “smart sustainable districts” and scenario analysis for decarbonisation. Over the years I have established and coordinated governmental working groups on solar energy and decarbonisation of the national economy, and for the International Energy Agency.
