CV Chiara Saragani is an Industrial Engineer from the Alma Mater Studiorum - University of Bologna, specialising in logistics, production systems, operations research and transportation. In 2022, she joined the Centre for Innovation in Transport (CENIT) as a PhD candidate, focusing on the digitalisation of the Port of Barcelona. During her undergraduate studies, Chiara spent a semester at Instituto Tecnológico de Buenos Aires (ITBA) in Argentina, deepening her knowledge of logistics and transportation systems. She went on to pursue her Master’s degree at the University of Bologna, with an exchange semester at École Supérieure d’Ingénieurs en Électronique et Électrotechnique (ESIEE) in Paris. There, she completed her dissertation on distribution logistics and operations research, culminating in a Master’s thesis titled: “Crowd-shipping and Autonomous Vehicles: An Optimization Model for Last-Mile Delivery.” Currently, as part of her PhD research in collaboration with the Port of Barcelona, Chiara explores cutting-edge technologies such as real-time monitoring systems, Digital Twins, and AI applications in port logistics, leveraging 5G connectivity. She is actively involved in the PIONEERS project, where she contributes to the development of several pilot initiatives. Her insights and findings are regularly shared through articles published in the PierNext newsletter.
