معرفی
Dario Massabo is an Associate Professor at the Department of Physics for Life Sciences, Environment, and Cultural Heritage at the University of Genoa. He is a member of the Department Council and participates in institutional governance roles. His research focuses on atmospheric aerosols, environmental physics, and the intersection of cultural heritage preservation with scientific methodologies. He leads the Physics Laboratory for the Environment, developing advanced instrumentation for aerosol analysis.
He teaches courses such as Atmospheric Physics and Pollutant Dispersion (Master’s in Physics), Archaeometry (Bachelor’s in Cultural Heritage Conservation), and Biophysics (Medical School). His teaching emphasizes applied physics in environmental and medical contexts. Recent research emphasizes aerosol source apportionment, light absorption, and urban pollution dynamics.
His publications from 2025 highlight advancements in aerosol characterization techniques (e.g., broadband light analyzers, STRAS samplers) and address critical issues like fossil fuel contributions to aerosols and brake wear pollution impacts. These studies blend field measurements with high-resolution modeling.
He coordinates thesis proposals on aerosol health effects, nanoparticle interactions with bacteria, and climate change mitigation strategies. His work bridges laboratory experiments (e.g., simulation chambers) with real-world environmental monitoring.
