Francesco Asdrubali

Francesco Asdrubali is a Full Professor at the Department of International Human and Social Sciences (SUSI) of the University for Foreigners of Perugia since October 2023, after serving as Full Professor in the Department of Engineering at Roma Tre University from 2016 to 2023. He has a long-standing academic and research career in environmental technical physics, with a focus on sustainable building technologies, acoustics, energy efficiency, and life cycle assessment.

His research interests span a wide interdisciplinary spectrum, including:

• Building thermophysics and thermal performance of envelopes
• Building and environmental acoustics, including sound insulation and urban soundscapes
• Lighting technology and daylighting systems
• Renewable energy integration in buildings
• Life cycle assessment (LCA) and circular economy in construction
• Sustainable mobility and smart cities
• Energy planning and environmental impact
• Conservation of historical-artistic assets

The analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong trend towards sustainability, with a focus on environmental product declarations, decarbonization of building materials, green roofs, acoustic metamaterials, and thermal performance under real-world conditions. His work integrates experimental validation, numerical modeling, and policy implications.

His scientific contributions include:

• Director of the International Institute of Acoustics and Vibrations (IIAV) since 2021
• President of the Italian Acoustics Association (AIA)
• Scientific director of numerous national (MUR, INAIL) and EU projects (LIFE, Horizon 2020)
• Technical Scientific Expert for the MUR
• Author of over 300 scientific publications with more than 6,700 citations (Scopus h-index: 43)
• Editor-in-Chief of Noise Mapping and Building Acoustics

He has led major research initiatives such as CIRIAF (2004–2013) and has collaborated with key institutions including the Colosseum Archaeological Park, Rome Airports, ISPRA, and IKEA Italy. His work bridges scientific research, technological innovation, and public policy, contributing to sustainable urban development and energy transition.
