ph.d. students
DR. CINZIA SALZANO |
Ph.D. student in “Energy Science and Engineering”, at the University of Naples “Parthenope” (start: 1st november 2019).
She graduated in Industrial Chemistry at University of Naples Federico II on 18/11/16, with Experimental Thesis in Physical Chemistry: "Effect of functionalized iron-oxide nanoparticles on the conformation and stability of human transferrin ".
She received a Master Degree in Sciences and Technologies of Industrial Chemistry, curriculum Products, Process and Enviromental Protection, at University of Naples Federico II on 19/06/19, with an Experimental Thesis in Physical Chemistry "Study of the temporal evolution process of formulations containing quaternary ammonium cationic surfactants", in collaboration with Procter and Gamble.
Since November 2019, she began her Ph.D. and collaborated on the development and application of innovative technologies for inertization (stabilization/solidification) of hazardous industrial solid waste and on the technological evaluation for the production of lightweight artificial aggregates by means of cementitious double step cold bonding pelletization. In addition, she collaborates on the development of new materials for energy applications and life cycle assessment (LCA) of the production processes of eco-compatible building materials. In particular, her research project is the reuse of fly ash, hazardous industrial solid waste, for the synthesis of geopolymer materials.

DR. GIANMARCO DI RIENZO |
Ph.D. Student in "Energy Science and Engineering," at the University of Naples "Parthenope" (start: Feb. 1, 2021).
He graduated in Industrial Chemistry at the University of Naples Federico II on 12/15/16, with Experimental Thesis: "Biomass-derived materials used in fluid-solid adsorption processes for the removal of pollutants from wastewater."
He received a Master Degree in Sciences and Technologies of Industrial Chemistry, Curriculum Products, Processes and Environmental Protection, at the University of Naples Federico II on 12/12/19, with Experimental Thesis in Analytical Chemistry: "Evaluation of the use of livestock slurry as a soil fertilizer."
He got a six-month scholarship (March-September 2020) at the University of Naples "Parthenope" on the following project: "Alkaline activation of blast furnace slag for the synthesis of innovative and/or fiber-reinforced materials for hydraulic works."
Since February 2021, he began his Ph.D. concerning alkaline chemical and mechanical activation of bottom ash from biomass combustion for obtaining eco-sustainable insulation components. Research regards the recycling and reuse of solid hazardous wastes from industrial processes for the production of high-porosity prefabricated elements in a circular economy perspective; in particular activities are focused on the development of the mix-design of the reactant mixture, the optimization of process parameters, and the energy and environmental evaluation of the obtained products.
He also collaborated on the development of environmentally friendly concretes with artificial aggregates produced from industrial wastes, such as fly ash from municipal solid waste incineration and blast furnace slag, evaluating properties such as compressive strength and thermal insulation.
