Anna Maria Ferrari
Graduated in Chemistry Associate Professor of Chemistry at the Department of Engineering Sciences and Methods of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia since 2006. She is in charge of the courses of Chemistry and of Life Cycle Assessment for the Degree Programs in Management Engineering and Mechatronic Engineering. She is referee for a number of international journals, such as Journal of the European Ceramic Society, Journal of Environmental Science and Technology, Journal of the American Ceramic Society and author of more than 100 article) in national and international journals and 90 contributions for national and international conferences. Her main research focus is on reactivity and on the structural features of crystalline and amorphous materials. During the last ten years she concentrated on using the Life Cycle Assessment methodology so as to evaluate potential environmental impact of products and processes with the aim to promote a more sustainable design. She carried out various case studies on building materials, waste management, construction industry and nanotechnology in collaboration with leading environmental sustainability research centers within national and international research projects. More specifically, these studies focused on the ceramic sector so as to set the best compromise between technological properties of end products and the total production costs (including externalities). Her research activity aims at adopting an holistic approach by taking into account not only environmental, but also economic and social issues. |

Martina Pini
Research fellow at the Department of Sciences and Methods for Engineering - University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. She graduated in Management Engineering from the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia in 2009. She received her Ph.D. in Industrial Innovation Engineering in 2015 from the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. PhD thesis: “Life Cycle Assessment of nano-TiO2 functionalized building materials extended to historical buildings”. Thank to her studies and research activities she could effort her knowledge on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology. In particular, she has investigated different fields: i) Construction sector, i.e. ceramic tile and different flooring materials; ii) Cultural heritage; ii) Nanotechnology, i.e. new building materials coated with nanoparticles (TiO2 nanoparticles) and their installation to an historical building; iii) Green chemistry, namely the evaluation of the greenness of chemical synthesis through the integration of LCA and other different tools (i.e. EATOS); iv) Waste treatments and circular economy, i.e. recycling and reuse of WEEE (waste electric and electronic equipment), solid waste (Municipal solid waste and Industrial waste) management and waste treatment processes (i.e. incineration, waste water treatment, landfill, composting, mechanical and biological treatment, recycling waste, and so on). She is also broadening her scope towards integrated methodologies, as such LCA, LCC, and S-LCA following the life cycle thinking approach. |

| Micol Centorrino She has obtained her B.S. in Architecture in 2006. Her final dissertation, completed at ENEA headquarters in Bologna in collaboration with Ing. Paolo Neri, focuses on energy requalification of housing (social construction). She has applied for the first time LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) methodology to evaluate the impact of the building interventions proposed during the design phase. She also holds a master degree in "Sustainable Urban Planning" from the IUAV of Venice (Faculty of Architecture). Her master memoir discusses a "Pilot test of a small, wood chip heating system managed by a SME "(conversion of arable land to poplar woods towards the production of woody biomass for energy use). She has subsequently collaborated to the renovation of the building "Casa Gaia" in Lucerna San Giovanni (TO). She has used the LCA methodology to select the least impactful and more efficient materials and technologies for this pilot project of participatory design that has involved technicians, artisans and construction companies alike. In 2017, within a project for a recovery plan in Messina, she carried out the LCA analysis of social housing units, with a structure in wood and pressed straw. Since 2018, she has been collaborating on an ongoing basis with the LCA Working Group. |
