Arianna Catenacci

Arianna Catenacci received a M.Sc. in Environmental engineering and a Ph.D. in Sanitary Engineering from Politecnico di Milano. Since January 2022 she is Junior Researcher at Politecnico di Milano, where she teaches “Sanitary and environmental engineering”. Her main research activities deal with biological processes for wastewaters and organic wastes treatment, with focus on anaerobic digestion, including: (i) optimization of biogas production through pre-treatments with ozone and co-digestion; (ii) process modelling of anaerobic co-digestion and aerobic granular sludge systems; (iii) anaerobic degradability of food waste collection bags. She holds the International Patent Application WO 2022/070035 “Method for the early estimation of anaerobic degradability of organic substrates”. She published 14 papers in peer-reviewed journals, and she gained three years experience as teaching assistant of courses “Drinking water treatment plants” and “Wastewater treatment plants”.
