Dr Ing Fulcieri Maltini, SMIEEE, PES, COMSOC Email: fulcierimaltini@ieee.org |
|
Dr.Ing. Fulcieri Maltini holds a Doctorate in Electronics Engineering from the University of Rome, Italy and several European and US management diplomas. He started his professional activity in 1961 as professor of Microwaves at the University of Rome. He then joined Selenia/Raytheon where he was involved in radar research. He then moved to CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research in Switzerland where he was responsible for high energy physics processing and data acquisition. This was followed by a management employment across Europe and the USA with Westinghouse Electric and Framatome in charge of the transfer of nuclear reactor technology. Later he worked on the design and planning of a nuclear-powered icebreaker ship for the Canadian Coast Guards at Alsthom-Atlantique. In 1980 he was appointed managing director of SociétéGénérale pour l'Industriea consulting firm in Switzerland, followed by a senior position with Elektrowatt Engineering overseeing the development of international projects of conventional and renewable energy, energy efficiency, technology transfer and venture capital. In 1994 he joined the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development - EBRD in London where he was responsible for the Nuclear Safety Account, the fund created for the decommissioning and closure of Soviet built Nuclear Power plants including Chernobyl in Ukraine, Ignalina in Lithuania, Saint Petersburg in Russia and several others in Eastern Europe. In 1997 he returned to independent consulting activities, advising Governments, International Institutions, the European Commission and industry on sustainable development, environmental sciences, conventional, renewable energy technologies, biofuels, energy efficiency and industrial legislations. This included the validation and industrialization of innovative technologies and the establishment of spinoff companies from Universities in Europe and Academies and Research Centres in Russia and Ukraine and cooperation with British Universities. His recent activities included the development and construction of a EU financed photovoltaic power plant in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, the largest and unique on the Cyprus island. Dr Maltini has recently joined the Sheffield University Advanced Resource Efficiency Centre (AREC) which has the aim to support the initiative on Supply Chain Resource Sustainability whoseobjectiveis to increase the sustainability of the industrial supply chain and to reduce consumption and climate change emissions. Dr Maltini speaks four languages and is frequently invited to major conference events to give lectures at various institutional forums. Dr Ing. Maltini is a senior life member of IEEE and member of the IEEE Power & Energy Society and the IEEE Communications Society. | |
