Dr Roberto Pasqualino is a C-EENRG Fellow and a Research Associate in the Department of Land Economy, University of Cambridge, working on the science-policy interface to support systems transformation towards a more just and sustainable society. Dr Pasqualino interdisciplinary background combines extensive training in complexity science, finance, mathematics, computer sciences, dynamic systems modelling, economics and public policy. At C-EENRG, he is working in the £3m BEIS- and CIFF-funded Economics of Energy Innovation Systems Transition (EEIST)research project.

Dr Pasqualino is a complexity economist and industrial engineer by training, with degrees from Anglia Ruskin University (PhD in Global Systems modelling and Sustainability), the University of Bergen (Master in System Dynamics and Policy planning), the University of Cranfield (MSc in Industrial Engineering), and University of Genova (CEng in Industrial Engineering & Master in Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Internationalization).

Dr Pasqualino has developed a family of System Dynamics models that are freely available online: World3-03-Edited, Economic Risk Resources and Environment – ERRE, and Industrial Innovation, Inequality and Inflation – IN4.0. He has also been involved in the LEGENT project in collaboration with the JRC (European Commission, Ispra, Italy), working on the Powertrain Technology Market Agent Model – PTTMAM (2021 version) in the area of road transport transition modelling and policy assessment for the European and Asia-Pacific countries and the UK.

Dr Pasqualino is a lead author of the book ‘Resources Financial Risk and the Dynamics of Growth: Systems and Global Society’ (Routledge, 2020) and a co-author of the book ‘Corporate Sustainability in Practice’ (Springer, 2021), both recording international sales, and published several articles on complexity and modelling socio-economic-environmental systems. A number of videos relating to his work can be found online on his Youtube channel.

Prior to his PhD, Dr Pasqualino had gained extensive industry experience working both in large corporations and small and medium enterprises, including in new product development at Rolls Royce PLC (Derby, UK), simulation engineering and Ford powertrain operations (Basildon plant, London, UK), new product development and marketing for Boneschi Srl (Italy), and international partnership development for Atomos Spa, an Italian information technology firm, with partners in Turkey. Over the last decade, Dr Pasqualino has worked closely with teams in the private sector, including Novigo Technology and Siemens R&D, and created Exoshock, an ARU start-up as outcome of his research.
