Prof. Dr. Maria Cristina Collivignarelli

My research interests concern several topics of sanitary and environmental engineering, specifically, (i) the impacts of emerging contaminants in the integrated water cycle and WWTPs’ biota, (ii) the combination of biological (thermophilic and mesophilic) and advanced chemical processes (AOPs) for the treatment of industrial wastewaters, (iii) innovative criteria for the assessment of the biological treatability of industrial wastewaters for their bioremediation, (iv) advanced techniques for the minimization of sludge production, (vi) reuses of wastewater, and (vi) drafting protocols for the verification of the functionality of treatment plants. Since 2005, I have been the coordinator of the "Processes and Plants" (TEC2.0 Lab) research group in Sanitary–Environmental Engineering at the Department of Civil Engineering and Architecture (the University of Pavia). I am also Deputy President and a member of the technical committee of the Interdepartmental Centre of Waters Research (CRA) established by the University of Pavia. To date, I have published 90 scientific papers in indexed journals (Scopus® and/or WoS®) on various topics related to sanitary and environmental engineering.
