Raffaella Russo
Senior Scientist
Raffaella is a senior research consultant, that served several esearch institutions and Universities (ISSNOVA, University of Salerno, AMRA scarl,). She holds a Master degree in Economics and Finance and is a certified project manager. She has supported the coordination of several EU research projects such as: H2020 SHEER (SHale gas Exploration and Exploitation induced Risks), H2020 ESPREssO (Enhancing Synergies for disaster PRevention in the EurOpean Union), FP7 REAKT (Strategies and tools for Real Time EArthquake RisK ReducTion) and FP7 CLUVA (CLimate change and Urban Vulnerability in Africa). Presently she is involved in the H2020 S4CE (Science 4 Clean Energy) project according to her managing skills and research experience.
Her research activity is devoted mainly to developing indicators to measure the social and economic impact of some hazardous events and to the identification socio-economic barriers to systems resilience. Her research activity is also devoted to identify the costs and benefits connected with the exploitation of conventional and unconventional energy resources. In the above mentioned fields she has several scientific publications and has lead WPs, Tasks and deliverables.

Marco Casazza
Scientific Advisor
Marco holds a Master Degree in Physics, University of Torino. Specialization Diploma in Sanitary Physics (environmental address), University of Torino. International Doctorate in Environment, Resources and Sustainable Development, University of Napoli ‘Parthenope’. He is qualified as Associate Professor in Applied Physics (FIS/07) according to Italian National Scientific Qualification (ASN) scheme.
He is currently is a research scholar at the Department of Sciences and Technologies at the University of Napoli ‘Parthenope’ and is Acting Secretary/Assistant Coordinator and co-responsible for International Academic Relations of Sino-Italian Academic Network ‘Matteo Ricci’.
His research deals with environmental multi-parametric monitoring, accounting and management. His research interests are focused on human-technology-environment interactions, environmental impact assessment, environmental security, also developing modelling and simulations. Lately, he adapted implemented such simulation tools to study the system dynamics of complex diseases, such as Multiple Myeloma and to the study of RNA virus – host co-evolution.
He is foreign expert at the School of Environment, Beijing Normal University (Beijing, China), was visiting researcher at KTH (Stockholm, Sweden), under the guidance of prof. Jinyue Yan (Editor in Chief, Applied Energy, Elsevier).
Marco’s academic teaching experience focuses on environmental physics, environmental monitoring laboratory and environmental accounting. He is Associate Editor of “Frontiers in Environmental Sciences” and Editorial Board Member of “Environmental and Sustainability Indicators” (Elsevier).
