Giuseppe Scatigno
Giuseppe ha conseguito una Laurea Magistrale con lode in Scienza dei Materiali e Ingegneria Nucleare presso l’Imperial College London. Durante questo periodo ha collaborato con l’Agenzia Internazionale per l’Energia Atomica (IAEA) presso il Centro Incidenti ed Emergenze, svolgendo calcoli di dose radiologica in seguito al disastro nucleare di Fukushima. Ha poi completato un Dottorato di Ricerca in elettrochimica e corrosione, concentrandosi sui fenomeni di corrosione assistita dall’ambiente e collaborando con diverse utility nucleari a livello mondiale. Giuseppe ha inoltre trascorso un periodo in Giappone lavorando allo sviluppo dei reattori Gen III+ presso Hitachi-GE Ltd. Il suo lavoro di dottorato ha richiesto l’uso intensivo di tecniche di microscopia all’avanguardia, metodi sperimentali tradizionali, oltre a strumenti computazionali, matematici e analitici. Dopo il PhD, Giuseppe ha lavorato come Research Associate all’Imperial College, con il supporto di EDF Energy, studiando la resistenza alla corrosione sotto sforzo delle unità di stoccaggio a secco progettate per l’immagazzinamento temporaneo del combustibile nucleare esaurito. Successivamente è stato assunto da EDF Energy come Ingegnere della Corrosione e Chimico, collaborando strettamente con le centrali elettriche prima di diventare responsabile dei sistemi di raffreddamento ad acqua e dello stoccaggio temporaneo del combustibile esaurito. Giuseppe ha definito i regimi di inibitori chimici […]

Enhancing Fire Investigation Expertise
As part of our commitment to continuous professional development, Hawkins recently hosted a comprehensive electrical training programme, led by Fire Expert Nick Carey and Electrical Engineer David Edwards. The training, delivered to our experts, covered two key courses: Electricity for Fire Investigation and Electrical Installations & Testing. These sessions covered a broad spectrum of topics – from the fundamentals of electricity to the operational principles of domestic wiring systems. Attendees engaged in hands-on exercises, including the installation of consumer units and the live testing of appliances to the point of failure. The training combined classroom-based theory with practical exercises, including: Live demonstrations of domestic appliances and wiring pushed to failure, offering insight into how electrical faults can lead to fire Installation of a mock domestic circuit, including consumer units, sockets, and lighting, to simulate real-world electrical layouts Analysis of arcing patterns, based on Nick Carey’s original research, highlighting subtle but crucial indicators often overlooked in investigations “I attended both the Electricity for Fire Investigation and Electrical Installations & Testing courses run by Nick and David,” said Adam Ashing, Mechanical Engineer at Hawkins. “They covered a range of topics, from the fundamentals of electricity, to the wiring diagrams and operational principles of common domestic devices. I found […]
