Università degli Studi di Milano – Dipartimento di Scienze e Politiche Ambientali​

Marcella Guarino Professore Ordinario (Settore Scientifico Disciplinare: AGR /10 – Costruzioni Rurali e Territorio Agroforestale; Settore concorsuale 07/C1 – Ingegneria agraria, forestale e dei biosistemi) presso il Dipartimento di Scienze e Politiche Ambientali.

He has always directed his study and research activities both on the classic themes of rural buildings and on the more innovative ones linked to the analysis and modeling of biological systems in relation to rural buildings.

Daniela Lovarelli Ricercatore a tempo determinato (lettera A) presso il Dipartimento di Scienze e Politiche Ambientali dell’Università degli Studi di Milano (Settore Scientifico Disciplinare: AGR /10 – Costruzioni Rurali e Territorio
Agroforestale; Settore concorsuale 07/C1 – Ingegneria agraria, forestale e dei biosistemi).

Le principali tematiche di ricerca riguardano le costruzioni rurali, la zootecnia di precisione e l’analisi della sostenibilità ambientale delle produzioni agro-zootecniche, rivolgendosi in particolare agli aspetti di gestione della stalla, benessere animale e produzione.

Università degli Studi di Catania – Dipartimento di Agricoltura, Alimentazione e Ambiente

Simona MC Porto, PhD Eng., has a tenure track position as Associate Professor of Rural buildings and agroforestry territory at the Department of Agriculture, Food and Environment (Di3A) of the University of Catania, and is a member of the Academic Board of the PhD course in ‘Agricultural, Food and Environmental Science’ of the University of Catania. Furthermore, she is co-PI of a three-year national research project funded by MIUR (Italian Ministry of Education, Universities and Research) on ‘Smart dairy farming: innovative solutions to improve herd productivity’ by ICT application. She was PI of several research projects funded by the University of Catania on rural buildings and GIS applications. She is also member of the Management Committee of the COST Action CA16106, ‘Ammonia and Greenhouse Gases Emissions from Animal Production Buildings’. Her research interests include GIS analysis for rural land planning, analysis of biomass feedstock production, image classification and feature extraction for rural land planning, LCA analysis of biomass production processes, reuse and rehabilitation of traditional rural buildings. She is author of more than 100 publications. She is fellow of CIGR and AIIA associations.
Giovanni Cascone, Eng., is a Full Professor at the University of Catania and has been Head of the Agricultural Engineering Department from 2004 to 2010 and Head of the Agri-Food and Environmental Systems Management Department from 2010 to 2012. He is involved in research on different subjects related to agricultural buildings such as environmental conditions in livestock buildings; application of ICT for microclimate modelling of breeding environments; analysis of the animal behaviour in intensive livestock farming; application of ICT for modelling greenhouse environment and traceability of certified plants; rehabilitation of traditional rural buildings in the context of land planning. He is author of more than 100 publications on journals and proceedings of national and international conferences. He is in the Board of CIGR and AIIA and member of ISHS and EurAgEng.

Università degli Studi di Firenze – Dipartimento di Scienze e Tecnologie Agrarie, Alimentari, Ambientali e Forestali

Matteo Barbari is Full Professor (Scientific Disciplinary Sector: AGR/10 - Rural Buildings and Agroforestry Territory; Competition sector 07/C1 - Agricultural, forestry and biosystems engineering) at the Department of Agriculture, Food, Environment and Forestry (DAGRI) of University of Florence. Since the beginning of research activity he studied rural buildings, with particular attention to livestock housing. Subjects related to animal welfare, environmental impact, sustainability and technological innovation have been treated in several national and international projects.

Gianluca Bambi è Ricercatore a Tempo determinato (Settore Scientifico Disciplinare: AGR /10 – Costruzioni Rurali e Territorio Agroforestale; Settore concorsuale 07/C1 – Ingegneria agraria, forestale e dei biosistemi) presso il Dipartimento di Scienze e Tecnologie Agrarie, Alimentari, Ambientali e Forestali (DAGRI) dell’Università di Firenze. Dal 2004 i principali temi di ricerca riguardano lo studio di materiali da costruzione sostenibili per la progettazione di edifici rurali, il rilievo GPS sotto copertura, il turismo rurale e il benessere animale.

Sebastian Schweizer, dottore in Scienze Forestali ed Ambientali, dottore di ricerca in Ingegneria Agraria e Forestale, attualmente assegnista presso il DAGRI dell’Università di Firenze, con una lunga esperienza nel campo dell’ecologia fluviale, oltre venticinque anni di lavori e docenze alle spalle nel settore dei GIS, si dedica oramai quasi a tempo pieno alla programmazione e alla realizzazione di dispositivi per il monitoraggio ambientale possibilmente di tipo IOT (Internet of Things) con un focus all’integrazione, analisi ed elaborazione dei dati di sensoristica in ambiente GIS.
