Roberto ROSA

Roberto ROSA is an Associate Professor at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, affiliated with the Department of Engineering Sciences and Methods. His work focuses on interdisciplinary research at the intersection of environmental sustainability, materials science, and chemical engineering. Key areas include Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of chemical processes, development of sustainable materials (e.g., photocatalysts, geopolymer composites), and nanotechnology applications. ROSA’s research emphasizes environmental impact mitigation through innovative synthesis methods, such as microwave-assisted processes and solution combustion.

His academic roles include teaching and guiding research in environmental technologies, materials engineering, and process intensification. Notable collaborations involve studies on green hydrogen supply chains, MXene material synthesis, and biorefinery processes using agricultural residues. ROSA’s work frequently integrates experimental design with LCA to optimize both technical and environmental outcomes.

Publications highlight contributions to sustainable energy systems, biomedical applications of materials (e.g., dental pulp cell studies), and waste valorization (marble powder, ceramic waste). His research aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in advancing resource efficiency and reducing environmental footprints of industrial processes.
