Giuseppina Oliva, Ph.D., is a Tenure-Track Researcher (RTDA) at the Department of Civil Engineering of the University of Salerno, where she carries out her scientific activities within the Sanitary Environmental Engineering Division (SEED). She graduated with honours in Environmental and Territorial Engineering in 2015 and obtained her Ph.D. in 2019 in “Risk and Sustainability in Civil, Building and Environmental Engineering Systems”, with a dissertation focused on advanced technologies for the abatement of volatile organic compounds and odorous emissions. During her doctoral studies, she was a visiting research scholar at international universities.

She served as Research Fellow at the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Salerno and at the Inter-University Consortium for Forecasting and Prevention of Major Risks, working on environmental monitoring, air quality assessment and the evaluation of environmental impacts associated with large civil engineering projects.

Her research interests include control of emerging contaminants in water and wastewater, air quality monitoring and control, odour and VOC treatment, climate-change mitigation technologies, algal biomass valorisation, environmental and energy sustainability, and Life Cycle Assessment. She is involved in national and international research projects (including PRIMA and MAECI initiatives), where she serves as Principal Investigator, task leader and work package coordinator.

Dr Oliva is the author of +80 scientific publications, including papers in ISI journal and proceedings, and acts as reviewer. She holds two patents related to innovative technologies for odour monitoring and CO₂ capture and valorisation. She teaches courses in Environmental and Energy Sustainability and Environmental Sanitary Engineering and regularly participates in international conferences as speaker, session chair and committee member.
