Dr Ferdinando Salata

Brief Bio

Dr Ferdinando Salata is currently researcher at University of Rome "Sapienza" (Italy), Department of Astronautical Engineering, Electrical and Energy (DIAEE) for the Scientific Sector ING-IND/11 (according to the Italian University's career). He earned his Degree in Mechanical Engineering with specialization in Energy at University “Sapienza” of Rome in 2003, and he have completed his Ph.D. in “Technical Physic” in 2007 at the same University. In his thesis work, he studied the use of ultraviolet radiation coupled with HEPA filtration for disinfection of biological airborne contaminants in air conditioning systems. After completing his Ph.D., Ferdinando accepted a research grant in the Department where he completed his thesis. During this period, Ferdinando was awarded "Expert in the field", for the Scientific Sector ING-IND/11, at the Faculties of Civil and Industrial Engineering of the University “Sapienza” of Rome. In 2017, he has obtained from the “Ministry of University and Research” the national academic qualification as associate professor. In the same year, he joins DIAEE as assistant professor. He is a member of the National Association of Italian Technical Physics.
