DICEAM research is developed in a variety of Scientific-Disciplinary Sectors (SSD), ranging from basic disciplines, such as mathematics, chemistry and physics, to the more applied disciplines of civil and environmental engineering and industrial engineering. This balance between theoretical foundations and practical applications allows the department to address complex issues of strategic relevance for society.
A distinctive element of DICEAM is the common substratum that links the different research areas. The activities are oriented towards high-impact objectives, such as:

  • environmental protection and defense of the territory, with studies on the prevention of natural and anthropogenic risks and on the management of natural resources and waste, by-products and refuse from production processes
  • the design of safe and sustainable structures and infrastructures, integrating technological innovation and attention to resilience
  • energy production from alternative sources, with research on efficient and sustainable systems for renewable energy
  • the development of innovative materials, processes and technologies, essential to improve performance and sustainability in the engineering and industrial sectors
  • the development of processes for the valorization of agro-industrial waste into high value-added products.

Thanks to this integration of different skills and a multidisciplinary approach, DICEAM not only responds to the challenges of modern research, but also contributes to outlining strategies and policies oriented towards technological progress and sustainability, maintaining a strong link with the territory and an openness towards international collaborations.

The research activities of the DICEAM Department are characterized by a strong dynamism and a multidisciplinarity that encompasses fundamental and applicative areas of civil, environmental, industrial, materials and energy engineering. These activities find expression in the laboratories of the department and in collaborations with national and international universities, research centers and public and private bodies.
