Biography

Matteo Muratori, PhD, is an internationally recognized expert and thought leader in clean energy transition and sustainable mobility, known for his focus on interdisciplinary synergies and cross-sectoral integration. He manages the Transportation and Industry programs at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), stewarding a research portfolio of more than $85 million in annual activity. An analytically minded leader, Muratori, has deep expertise across a variety of energy and transportation topics, uniquely equipping him to strategically inform high-level decision-makers, envision high-impact programs, lead complex projects, and foster effective partnerships across organizations.  

Before joining PNNL, Muratori spent a decade at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) where he was a distinguished member of the research staff and the founding manager of the Transportation Energy Transition Analysis group. He also served as the chief analyst for sustainable transportation and fuels at the Department of Energy, where he spearheaded the development of the “U.S. National Blueprint for Transportation Decarbonization“. Prior to joining NREL, Muratori was the ExxonMobil postdoctoral fellow at PNNL’s Joint Global Change Research Institute. 

Muratori has authored or co-authored over 120 technical publications cited over 10,000 times. He contributed to the IPCC 6th Assessment Report, the 5th National Climate Assessment (NCA5), and serves as lead author for the transportation chapter of NCA6. He holds BS and MS summa cum laude degrees in energy engineering from Politecnico di Milano (ranked top University in Italy) and MS and PhD degrees in mechanical engineering, along with a minor degree in statistics, from The Ohio State University.
