Maria Letizia Ruello

Maria Letizia Ruello serves as a Researcher in the Department of Materials, Environmental and Urban Engineering (SIMAU) at Polytechnic University of Marche's School of Engineering. Her academic work focuses on sustainable materials development with particular emphasis on waste valorization for construction applications and indoor environmental quality improvement.

Her research spans multiple critical areas in modern materials engineering including:

• Conversion of industrial and agricultural waste streams into functional building materials
• Development of photocatalytic coatings for indoor air purification
• Alkali-activated systems for hazardous waste immobilization
• Nanofiber technologies for particulate matter filtration
• Circular economy approaches in construction material production

Analysis of her recent publication record (2021-2025) reveals strong focus on practical environmental solutions, particularly in transforming mollusk shells, coffee husks, and industrial ashes into high-value construction materials. Her work consistently bridges laboratory innovation with pilot-scale validation, demonstrating commitment to real-world implementation of sustainable technologies.

While no formal awards are documented in the available materials, her extensive publication output in high-impact journals demonstrates significant contribution to materials science and sustainable engineering fields.

Dr. Ruello's work shows strong alignment with European circular economy initiatives and sustainable construction trends, particularly through her involvement in Horizon Europe framework projects as indicated by university research portals.
