About
Mariana Santini is a leading researcher at the intersection of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), with a focused application in the energy sector. Her work systematically explores how organizations can leverage Business Process Management (BPM) to identify repetitive tasks and automate them using software robots, a core contribution to the field of Digital Transformation. In her most-cited paper, a 2022 systematic review (23 citations), she establishes a foundational framework for integrating RPA with machine learning, demonstrating how this synergy drives productivity gains. Her 2021 study (13 citations) provides a landmark contribution by applying these extended RPA-AI techniques specifically to power distribution utilities, showing how critical meter management can be optimized through intelligent automation. This work highlights the strategic feasibility of combining RPA with AI for any company. Santini’s research is notable for bridging theoretical frameworks with practical, high-impact industrial applications, making her a key voice in advancing smart automation for critical infrastructure.
