Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Thermodynamics
  • Mechanical engineering
  • Electrical engineering

Efficient energy use, Genetic algorithm, Civil engineering, Multi-objective optimization and Simulation are her primary areas of study. Her work in Efficient energy use addresses subjects such as Thermal comfort, which are connected to disciplines such as HVAC. The Civil engineering study combines topics in areas such as Building envelope, Primary energy, Architectural engineering and Passive cooling.

Her Simulation research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Distributed generation and Reliability engineering. Her Distributed generation research also works with subjects such as

  • Work, which have a strong connection to Exergy efficiency,
  • Thermal energy storage that connect with fields like Thermal energy. Her Reliability engineering research includes themes of Artificial neural network, Uncertainty analysis, Retrofitting and Energy consumption.

Her most cited work include:

  • Energy refurbishment of existing buildings through the use of phase change materials: Energy savings and indoor comfort in the cooling season (203 citations)
  • Green roofs in European climates. Are effective solutions for the energy savings in air-conditioning? (165 citations)
  • Operation optimization of a distributed energy system considering energy costs and exergy efficiency (119 citations)

What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

Her primary areas of study are Mechanics, Heat transfer, Thermal, Efficient energy use and Heat flux. The study incorporates disciplines such as Multiphysics, Thermal conduction and Radiative transfer in addition to Mechanics. Her Heat transfer research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Porosity, Porous medium and Pressure drop.

Nicola Bianco has included themes like Envelope, Renewable energy, Building energy simulation and Civil engineering in her Efficient energy use study. Her Civil engineering study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Building envelope, Thermal insulation, Primary energy and Architectural engineering. As a member of one scientific family, Nicola Bianco mostly works in the field of Building envelope, focusing on HVAC and, on occasion, Multi-objective optimization.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Mechanics (30.17%)
  • Heat transfer (20.11%)
  • Thermal (13.97%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Mechanics (30.17%)
  • Heat transfer (20.11%)
  • Multi-objective optimization (8.38%)

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

Her primary areas of investigation include Mechanics, Heat transfer, Multi-objective optimization, Building energy simulation and Thermal comfort. The concepts of her Mechanics study are interwoven with issues in Thermal conduction, Finite element method, Work and Metal foam. Nicola Bianco combines subjects such as Nusselt number, Radiative transfer, Thermal energy storage and Pressure drop with her study of Heat transfer.

Her Multi-objective optimization research incorporates elements of Building envelope, Genetic algorithm and HVAC, Air conditioning. Her Mathematical optimization research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Envelope, Energy consumption, Zero-energy building and Building design. As part of one scientific family, Nicola Bianco deals mainly with the area of Energy consumption, narrowing it down to issues related to the Facade, and often Efficient energy use.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Building envelope design: Multi-objective optimization to minimize energy consumption, global cost and thermal discomfort. Application to different Italian climatic zones (48 citations)
  • Thermal comfort prediction in a building category: Artificial neural network generation from calibrated models for a social housing stock in southern Europe (26 citations)
  • A new comprehensive framework for the multi-objective optimization of building energy design: Harlequin (25 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Thermodynamics
  • Mechanical engineering
  • Electrical engineering

Nicola Bianco spends much of her time researching Multi-objective optimization, Thermal comfort, Genetic algorithm, Efficient energy use and Air conditioning. Pareto principle, Primary energy, Renewable energy and Photovoltaic system is closely connected to Building envelope in her research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Multi-objective optimization. She has researched Genetic algorithm in several fields, including Envelope and Building design.

Her Efficient energy use research focuses on subjects like Civil engineering, which are linked to Thermal insulation and Reflective surfaces. As part of the same scientific family, she usually focuses on Air conditioning, concentrating on Photovoltaics and intersecting with Reliability engineering. Her study in Thermal conduction is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Mechanics and Heat transfer.
