Alessandro Dal Pozzo

I am Assistant Professor in Chemical Plants and Processes.

An environmental engineer by training and a chemical engineer by doctoral studies, my research interests lie at the interface of process optimization and environmental protection.

I'm working extensively on the optimization of flue gas treatment in waste-to-energy plants, with the aim of coupling ultra-low emission targets with minimal cross-media effects in terms of reactant consumption and generation of process residues.

I'm exploring the integration of life cycle assessment in process design and optimization. My goal is to develop and apply quantitative sustainability assessment methods to support the design of emerging technologies in the materials and chemical engineering areas, where integration between the tools of process engineering and the mindset of industrial ecology is needed.
