Anna Maria FERRARI

Anna Maria Ferrari is a Full Professor at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, affiliated with the Department of Engineering Sciences and Methods. Her research focuses on environmental sustainability, circular economy, and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), particularly in the context of cultural heritage conservation, ceramic materials, and nanotechnology. She leads initiatives to integrate recycled materials into industrial processes, emphasizing sustainable practices.

Her work spans materials science, including studies on ceramic pigments, nanoparticle synthesis, and waste valorization. She collaborates internationally on projects like nuclear waste glass characterization and heritage preservation. She advises on thesis topics related to LCA and hosts internships at the En&Tech Center in Reggio Emilia.

Key research themes include:

• Development of eco-friendly ceramic materials
• Environmental impact analysis of industrial processes
• Heritage conservation through nanomaterials
• Recycling of electronic waste (CRT glass) into ceramics

Publications highlight innovations in LCA methodologies, sustainable manufacturing, and material characterization. She maintains an active lab (LCA Working Group) and is reachable via email for collaborations or inquiries.
