Susanna Donatelli (born 1960)^[1] is an Italian computer scientist specializing in discrete-event simulations and their specification, modeling, and analysis using Petri nets, stochastic Petri nets, stochastic process algebras, and the Unified Modeling Language (UML). She is a professor of computer science at the University of Turin.^[2]

Donatelli earned a laurea in computer science at the University of Turin in 1984, before coming to the US for graduate study. She earned a master's degree in computer engineering at the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 1987, and then returned to the University of Turin for a doctorate in 1989.^[3]
