Diego Rosso is a Professor in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at the Samueli School of Engineering, University of California, Irvine, with joint appointments in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, and Materials Science and Engineering. He serves as Director of the UCI WEX Center, focusing on environmental process engineering and sustainable water systems. Ph.D., Civil Engineering, UCLA (2005) M.S., Civil Engineering, UCLA (2003) Chemical Engineering Laureate, University of Padua (2002) His research emphasizes wastewater treatment, mass transfer mechanisms, and carbon/energy-footprint analysis. He explores innovative technologies like nanobiocomposites for heavy metal removal, hydrocyclone systems for microplastics separation, and decentralized water/wastewater infrastructure for urban sustainability. Recent publications analyze ARIMA forecasting for wastewater flow, SARS-CoV-2 surveillance in decentralized systems, and oxygen transfer optimization in biological processes. His work bridges environmental engineering with data-driven modeling and sustainable technology development. His laboratory, the Environmental Process Lab, investigates advanced treatment methods and resource recovery strategies.
