Alice Schiaroli

New Ph.D. Candidate Self-introduction



About Alice Schiaroli: I am Alice and I come from a small town in the Marche region, in central Italy. I started my studies at the scientific high school in Fano and then I moved to Bologna to attend the university for the next five years. I got my Bachelor’s degree in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering in 2020 and I finished my Master’s degree in Chemical and Process Engineering in October 2022. Since November 2022 I am a PhD candidate both at the University of Bologna and at NTNU. This is because my PhD is a cotutelle agreement between the two universities, meaning that I will spend a year of my research work here in Trondheim before coming back to Bologna to finish the research period.

My project deals with hydrogen safety, particularly the analysis of the response of hydrogen vessels in external fire conditions. I started working on hydrogen safety during my master’s thesis, which was a risk assessment of hydrogen storage tanks for hydrogen-powered buses. Now I am focused on cryogenic hydrogen tanks and I am using the skills acquired during my academic studies to study these types of equipment when exposed to an external fire.

Hydrogen safety expert

Olav Roald Hansen

Title: Safety in current and future hydrogen applications.

Abstract: The business idea of HYEX is to provide expert advice within hydrogen and gas safety. We help projects develop safe and cost efficient solutions using quick engineering models in combination with computational fluid dynamics (CFD). This includes documenting risk for permitting processes with authorities, regulators and classification societies. The company: HYEX (https://hyexsafety.com/) is built by Olav Roald Hansen. The main ambition is to facilitate for a safe transition to a hydrogen society.

About Speaker: Olav Roald Hansen is a hydrogen safety expert. He worked for Gexcon and Lloyd Register, and now he founded his own company HYEX safety. During his nearly 30 years’ experience in the field, Olav Roald Hansen, played an instrumental role establishing FLACS as a leading CFD software. Know-how from hundreds of large-scale experiments allowed for the development of techniques making FLACS the most accurate and efficient consequence prediction tool for dispersion and explosion. HYEX is built on this knowledge.
