She obtained her master’s degree in Energy and Nuclear Engineering, and her PhD thesis focused on natural radioactivity, in Earth Science at Alma Mater Studiorum University, Bologna. She became a qualified expert in radiation protection at the second level, according to the Italian law.
From 2013 to 2021 Giorgia Cinelli worked on the European Atlas of Natural Radiation project managed by the Joint Research Centre - European Commission. The Atlas is a collection of maps of Europe displaying the levels of natural radioactivity caused by different sources. She is involved in data collection, data harmonization, statistical evaluation, mapping, and, geostatistical analysis. She worked in close collaboration with national authorities, organizing meeting and workshops. She was involved as work package leader in the MetroRADON project (EMPIR, European Metrology Programme for Innovation and Research, JRP-Contract 16ENV10) and she is involved as work package leader in the traceRadon project (EMPIR, Radon metrology for the use in climate change observation and radiation protection at the environmental level, JRP-Contract 19ENV01).
Since 2021 she is working at the Laboratory of Observations and Measurements for the Climate and the Environment, National Agency for New Technologies, Energy, and Sustainable Economic Development (ENEA).
