Bachelor of Energy Engineering (Sapienza University, Rome); Master of Energy Engineering – Renewable Energy Sources (Sapienza University, Rome).

“I love numbers, looking for patterns and devising methodologies that can provide clarity and solutions.”

Loriana joined ISINNOVA in 2012.

Loriana is a Researcher and Project Manager for a number of European projects in the fields of smart cities, energy efficiency, renewable energy sources, sustainable mobility, and integrated planning.

Loriana has longstanding experience in developing tools and methodologies that support city administrations and decision makers at national and EU level.

Loriana led and coordinated replication activities for the RUGGEDISED smart cities project, guiding the Follower Cities in their replication pathway. It was in this context that she developed INSPIRE™, ISINNOVA’s structured methodology for assessing the replicability of solutions, which was tested for the first time in the project. She later adapted the methodology to biomethane policies in REGATRACE, and is currently leading the replicability study of innovative biomethane production technologies in the BIOMETHAVERSE project.

Through these experiences, she has successfully established INSPIRE™ as a reference methodology within ISINNOVA, which is now increasingly applied across European projects to assess the replicability of policies, technologies, and governance models.

She has also applied her expertise in developing complex decision-support tools, monitoring frameworks, and cost-modelling systems – both internally at ISINNOVA and within European projects – providing structured solutions that enhance management, evaluation, and strategic decision-making.

In addition, she has solid experience in several projects about biofuels, notably the H2020 projects BIOMASTER and BIOSURF, and continues to work on initiatives related to renewable energy, smart cities, sustainable mobility, and integrated planning.

Loriana enjoys the challenge of bringing order to disparate data and creating methodologies. She takes great motivation from meeting with colleagues and project partners in different parts of the world.
