Andrea Corti

Andrea Corti serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Information Engineering and Mathematical Sciences at the University of Siena, teaching core courses including Physics I for Management Engineering undergraduates and advanced subjects like Energy Conversion Systems and Environmental Impact Containment, alongside Technologies for Environmental Resource Management for Engineering Management graduate students.

Research Focus: His work centers on Environmental Engineering with specialized expertise in Waste Management and Circular Economy systems. He investigates hazardous waste treatment processes, biochemical methane potential in organic waste streams, and solid recovered fuel applications, increasingly integrating robotics and machine learning for sustainable resource management solutions as evidenced by his 2024 IEEE Access publication.

Publication Evolution: Analyzing his 2015-2024 output reveals a clear trajectory from foundational waste characterization studies toward interdisciplinary approaches. The 2024 paper demonstrates his current emphasis on unifying deep-learning vision with thermodynamic modeling and robotic manipulation to advance circular economy frameworks, signaling a strategic pivot toward AI-driven environmental engineering solutions.
