Alessandro Casazza

Alessandro Casazza serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil, Chemical, and Environmental Engineering at the University of Genoa. His teaching portfolio spans multiple programs:

• Industrial Biotechnology (Master's in Chemical and Process Engineering)
• Biotechnological Processes for Energy and the Environment (Master's)
• Industrial Microbiology and Fermentation Biotechnology (Bachelor's in Biotechnology)
• Organic Chemistry (Mediterranean Agri-Food Sciences)

His research focuses on sustainable bioprocesses with emphasis on:

• Wastewater treatment using microalgae and biocomposites
• Valorization of agro-industrial by-products through green extraction
• Lignin conversion via thermochemical processes
• Biosurfactant development for environmental remediation

Recent publications demonstrate strong integration of environmental biotechnology and chemical engineering, particularly in olive mill wastewater treatment, Cupuaçu seed valorization, and magnetic biocomposites for contaminant removal. These studies employ advanced techniques like microwave extraction and slow pyrolysis to address industrial pollution challenges.

Scientific awards were not documented in available sources.

Students may schedule advising appointments; research collaborations are evident through co-authored publications with Converti, Perego, and international teams. Current projects focus on bioremediation and bioresource valorization, though specific grants and lab structures remain unspecified.
