About

R. Zanino is a leading figure in fusion energy research, specializing in the thermal-hydraulic and electromagnetic analysis of superconducting magnets and plasma-facing components for tokamak reactors. His work is pivotal to the design and safety of next-generation fusion devices, particularly the EU DEMO reactor. Among his key contributions is a detailed computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of natural convection cooling during reactor shutdown, a critical study for ensuring the integrity of in-vessel components under accident scenarios. This work, published in 2021 and garnering 5 citations, exemplifies his focus on passive safety systems. Beyond this, Zanino has made substantial impacts in the development of cryogenic systems for fusion magnets, with his research frequently cited by international collaborations like ITER. His expertise bridges experimental validation and numerical modeling, advancing the reliability of fusion power plants. With a career spanning decades, Zanino’s publications consistently shape the engineering roadmap for sustainable fusion energy, making him an essential voice for students and researchers pursuing safe, high-performance reactor designs.
