معرفی
Dr. Imma Bortone is a Lecturer in Fluid Flow and Environmental Engineering at the Cranfield Water Science Institute, part of the School of Water, Energy and Environment at Cranfield University, UK. She joined Cranfield in 2017 and has a strong research focus on computational modelling of subsurface processes and environmental remediation.
- BEng and MSc in Civil/Environmental Engineering from Second University of Naples (SUN), Italy
- PhD in Marine Science and Engineering from SUN, focusing on numerical simulations of sediment capping for contaminated sediments
Her research interests include:
- Subsurface single and multiphase flow modelling
- Wastewater and groundwater treatment modelling
- Environmental impact assessment and risk analysis
- Contaminated sediment transport and remediation
- Air and waste pollution control
- Numerical simulation and data integration in complex environmental systems
Her recent publications (2017–2025) emphasize applications in groundwater remediation (e.g., pump-and-treat systems, adsorptive barriers), sediment capping for PAH and chlorinated solvent contamination, bioremediation strategies, and policy gaps in green technology adoption. These works reflect a strong trend in computational environmental engineering, combining numerical modelling with experimental validation for sustainable solutions.
She has received research funding from major UK and EU bodies including EPSRC, NERC, Defra, and the European H2020 programme.
Dr. Bortone supervises research students and welcomes PhD applications, particularly in emerging areas such as PFAS in sediment. She has collaborated with institutions including Imperial College London, London South Bank University, and Italian universities.
