Francesca Pennecchi is a Senior Research Scientist at the INRiM, within the Applied Metrology and Engineering Division. She holds a Degree in Mathematics from the University of Torino (Italy) and a European PhD in Metrology from the Politecnico of Torino (Italy). She was assigned with a research grant at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL, 2003) and at the Statistical Engineering Division of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST, 2007). Participating into several national and international research projects (EMRP, EMPIR, IUPAC/CITAC, industrial), her research activity has been mainly focused on mathematical and statistical methods for uncertainty evaluation, regression analysis and modelling of risks of false decisions in conformity assessment. She participates into relevant committees and working groups (member of Eurachem/CITAC “Measurement Uncertainty and Traceability” Working Group and ISO/TC 69/SC 6/WG 7 “Statistical methods to support measurement uncertainty evaluation”, co-chair of the ENBIS “Special Interest Group on Measurement Uncertainty”, and chair of the UNI/CT016/GL69 “Applicazione dei metodi statistici”). She is chair of the EMN Mathmet since 2022 and member of the JCGM-WG1 since 2024. She is co-author of more than 100 papers (Scopus h-index 19).
