SUMMARY:PhDTalks | Integrating Probabilistic Hydrogeological Reconstruction and Groundwater Flow Modeling for the Po Plain Aquifer System: A Data-Driven Approach Supporting Physics-Based Modeling
DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 9 gennaio nell’aula Fassò (Edificio 4A)\, dalle 17:15 alle 18:30 CET. \nPhDTalks è una serie di seminari e discussioni tra dottorandi. Gli eventi hanno lo scopo di fornire un luogo dove creare un network tra dottorandi ed entrare in contatto con i molti progetti sviluppati nel nostro dipartimento. \nLo speaker Andrea Manzoni condurrà un seminario dal titolo “Integrating Probabilistic Hydrogeological Reconstruction and Groundwater Flow Modeling for the Po Plain Aquifer System: A Data-Driven Approach Supporting Physics-Based Modeling”.  \nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link. \nAbstract \nI present a study related to the modeling of large-scale groundwater flow and contaminant transport in porous media. The techniques presented are designed to efficiently handle a large volume of data by combining knowledge of system physics with the increasingly availability of innovative artificial intelligence techniques. The study is divided into three main phases. \nIn the first phase\, a probabilistic hydrogeological reconstruction is carried out on a large-scale system\, specifically for the Po River basin in Italy. This reconstruction is accomplished using artificial intelligence techniques that have been appropriately adapted to realize the hydrogeological reconstruction and quantify its associated uncertainty. These findings serve as input for the second phase of the study\, which focuses on developing a flow model. To achieve this\, we have developed a methodology for calibration and sensitivity analysis of large-scale groundwater flow models. This methodology includes the application of state-of-the-art optimization algorithms and posterior sensitivity analysis\, which provide information on the sensitivity of the model output (hydraulic load) to variations in parameter values after the calibration phase. The case study for this methodology is the Po River basin\, for which a groundwater flow model has been developed based on available measurements in the region\, including hydraulic head measurements\, satellite precipitation data\, temperature\, land use\, and continental-scale models of soil properties and crops. \nFinally\, the third phase focuses on the development of a deep learning-based methodology aimed at identifying preferential pathways for contaminants in porous media and utilizing the information within these pathways to determine the arrival time of the first quantity of contaminant in a region of interest. This methodology serves as a foundation for the development of artificial intelligence-based methodologies for identifying pathways and travel times of contaminants within aquifers in highly complex systems\, as the system analyzed in the first two phases of this study. \nSpeaker’s bio \nAndrea Manzoni is a Ph.D. candidate in Environmental and Infrastructure Engineering at Politecnico di Milano\, with a Master of Science in Energy Engineering\, specializing in oil and gas production from the same institution. \nHis research covers a diverse range of topics. This includes complex models\, groundwater flow\, contaminant transport\, large-scale models\, stochastic inverse modeling\,  sensitivity analysis\,  multiphase flow\, data mining\, remote sensing and on-site data analysis\, applied machine learning\, and computer vision. \nHis Ph.D. thesis focuses on developing a stochastic inverse modeling technique for a large-scale groundwater flow model applied to the groundwater system of the Po River watershed\, as well as a deep learning technique for contaminant transport through porous media. \nIn 2023\, Andrea Manzoni further enriched his expertise as a Visiting Scholar for 5 months at the University of Southern California (Los Angeles\, US). During this time\, he focused on contaminant transport\, the cutting-edge applications of artificial intelligence techniques in computer vision and image processing\, and uncertainty quantification applied to machine learning models. \nIn addition\, Andrea Manzoni has held the position of Vice-President of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) Student Chapter at Politecnico di Milano since 2021.

SUMMARY:Flood hazard mapping: the HORA project
DESCRIPTION:Mercoledì 31 gennaio dalle ore 10.35 alle ore 11.20 presso l’Aula Grandori (Edificio 4 – p.za Leonardo da Vinci\, 32 – Milano) si terrà un seminario dal titolo: “Flood hazard mapping: the HORA project“\, tenuto dal Prof. Günter Bloeschl (TU Wien\, Institute of Hydraulic Engineering and Water Resources Management). \nA seguire\, dalle ore 11.30 alle ore 12.30 si terrà una discussione a tavolino con il Prof. Günter Bloeschl\, il Prof. Renzo Rosso e il Prof. Giovanni Menduni dove verrà affrontata la domanda: “Which design recommendations are suitable for flood hazard mitigation in urbanized territory under climate change meteorological forcing?” \nSarà possibile seguire il seminario online al seguente link. \nAbstract \nFlood hazard mapping is currently in a transitional phase involving the use of data and methods that were traditionally the domain of local studies in a regional or nation-wide context. Challenges include the representation of local information such as hydrological particularities and small hydraulic structures\, and computational and labour costs. This paper proposes a methodology of flood hazard mapping that merges the best of the two worlds (local and regional studies) based on experiences in Austria. The analysis steps include (a) quality control and correction of river network and catchment boundary data; (b) estimation of flood discharge peaks and volumes on the entire river network; (c) creation of a digital elevation model (DEM) that is consistent with all relevant flood information\, including river bed geometry; (d) simulation of inundation patterns and velocities associated with a consistent flood return period along the entire river network. In each step\, automatic methods are combined with manual interventions in order to maximise the efficiency and at the same time ensure estimation accuracy similar to that of local studies. The accuracy of the estimates is evaluated in each step. The study uses flood discharge records from 781 stations to estimate flood hazard patterns of a given return period at a resolution of 2 m over a total stream length of 38000 km. It is argued that a combined local-regional methodology will advance flood mapping\, making it even more useful in nation-wide or global contexts.

SUMMARY:PhDTalks | Healing capacity of Ultra High Performance Concrete under sustained through crack tensile stresses and aggressive environments
DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 6 febbraio nell’aula Fassò (Edificio 4A)\, dalle 17:15 alle 18:30 CET. \nPhDTalks è una serie di seminari e discussioni tra dottorandi. Gli eventi hanno lo scopo di fornire un luogo dove creare un network tra dottorandi ed entrare in contatto con i molti progetti sviluppati nel nostro dipartimento. \nLo speaker Xi Bin condurrà un seminario dal titolo “Healing capacity of Ultra High Performance Concrete under sustained through crack tensile stresses and aggressive environments”.  \nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link. \nAbstract \nThis study investigates the self-healing capabilities of Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) under the combined influence of mechanical and environmental factors. Specifically\, it delves into the long-term self-healing process in pre-cracked UHPC samples that endure continuous sustained tensile stresses across the cracks and are exposed to aggressive environmental conditions for one year. This study not only emphasizes that pre-cracked UHPC\, when exposed to both mechanical stresses and aggressive environments\, can maintain excellent durability and mechanical strength due to its self-healing effect but also lays the foundation for evaluating the self-healing potential of cement-based materials under conditions representative of real-world structural scenarios. \nSpeaker’s bio \nBin is a PhD candidate in the 36th cycle of SSGE at Politecnico di Milano. He holds a master’s degree in civil engineering from Shenzhen University\, China. His current research focuses on the realms of self-healing and durability within the context of fiber-reinforced concrete. Outside the academic sphere\, Bin is passionate about exploring new horizons. Traveling and hiking are his preferred avenues for relaxation and personal enrichment.

SUMMARY:Bayesian assessment of existing concrete structures: dealing with different types of information and challenges for the future
DESCRIPTION:Venerdì 9 febbraio alle ore 11.00 presso l’Aula Castigliano (Edificio 5 – p.za Leonardo da Vinci\, 32 – Milano) si terrà un seminario dal titolo: “Bayesian assessment of existing concrete structures: dealing with different types of information and challenges for the future“\, tenuto dal Prof. Robby Caspeele (Magnel-Vandepitte Laboratory\, Department of Structural Engineering and Building Materials\, Ghent University\, Belgium). \nAbstract \nAn increasing amount of the current activities in the construction sector are oriented towards the assessment of existing structures and the associated repair and upgrading interventions. Although the last decennia significant progress has been made to analytically and numerically simulate the degradation process of concrete structures and their associated structural performance prediction in time\, structural engineers are challenged to deal with the large uncertainties involved. Besides a typical lack of information\, the degradation processes are associated with large uncertainties and when executing additional investigations and measurements\, significant model and measurement uncertainties play a dominant role in the reliability-based performance prediction. Bayesian updating techniques provide a unique engineering tool\, enabling to make inferences where classical statistical approaches fail. It is explained and illustrated how Bayesian updating techniques provide an undeniable advantage in several steps of the assessment process. Degradation models whose parameters generally are difficult to find consensus about\, can gradually be updated when more information becomes available. Variables in structural reliability calculations can be updated on the basis of direct as well as indirect measurement data. Sources of information contained in different types of measurements or even visual inspections can be combined in order to make much more informed inferences and to reduce uncertainties in the reliability-based performance assessment\, compared to when such data is analysed separately. The integration of these approaches into the practical assessment process is proven to be feasible and an outlook is given on future engineering challenges to integrate such approaches further in the life-cycle assessment of existing concrete structures. \nSpeaker’s bio \nRobby Caspeele is a professor in the field of Structural Reliability at Ghent University (UGent) since 2013 and one of the technical directors of the Magnel-Vandepitte Laboratory for Structural Engineering and Building Materials. He received his MSc degree in Civil Engineering in 2006 and his PhD in Civil Engineering in 2010. His main areas of expertise relate to (1) full- and semi-probabilistic structural reliability methods and Bayesian updating techniques in relation to performance-based life-cycle analysis of concrete structures\, (2) structural robustness and membrane action in concrete structures in relation to design against progressive collapse as a result of foreseen and unforeseen events and (3) structural assessment of existing structures in relation to time-dependent degradation\, combining numerical structural analysis approaches with Bayesian updating techniques\, decision making for structural interventions and lifetime performance optimization. He is author of more than 75 publications in peer-reviewed journals and over 200 papers in international scientific conference proceedings. He is also strongly involved in international committees and working groups related to the development of technical guidelines and standards. Among others\, he is a board member of the Joint Committee on Structural Safety\, co-convenor of fib Commission 3 on Existing Structures and chair of the Belgian mirror committee for the Eurocodes.

SUMMARY:PhDTalks | Managing (micro-)pollutants contamination in integrated urban wastewater systems: risk assessment and mitigation strategies
DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 20 febbraio nell’aula Fassò (Edificio 4A)\, dalle 17:15 alle 18:30 CET. \nPhDTalks è una serie di seminari e discussioni tra dottorandi.

Concurrently\, diverse user demands have determined the competition for clean water resources\, exacerbated by severe droughts caused by climate change. \nIn highly urbanized areas\, water can be used for different purposes\, discharging very different types of (micro-)pollutants into the sewer system or directly to surface water. In fact\, these systems are often combined and when rain events hit the city\, they can reach their capacity\, discharging untreated wastewater and stormwater directly into water bodies\, causing pollutants overload. Moreover\, wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) are currently designed to remove only conventional pollutants\, spreading micropollutants in the environment also in dry-weather. In this way\, different type of contaminants can reach surface water and move across different water sources and compartments. They can accumulate in groundwater and surface water\, where they can also be transferred due to crop irrigation. The complexity in contamination sources\, pathways\, and receptors make urban water management intricate. Correct and well-planned water management is crucial to avoid conflicts among different stakeholders and to limit the risk for the environment and human health. \nTo address these issues\, the present project aims at developing a comprehensive framework for assessing and managing (micro-)pollutants risks in urban water\, modeling their fate and transport across various water sources and compartments\, while also exploring suitable treatment technologies for wet-weather discharges and WWTP effluent. \nSpeaker’s bio \nJessica is a PhD student in Environmental and Infrastructure Engineering (37th cycle) at Politecnico di Milano. She has a Master of Science in Environmental and Land Planning Engineering obtained in 2021 at Politecnico di Milano. \nJessica works in the safeWATER research group and her research activity focuses on modelling fate and transport of micropollutants in urban water\, assessing the environmental risk and evaluating proper mitigation strategies. \nIn her free time she loves enjoying nature\, playing the piano\, and travelling.

SUMMARY:Advancements in Bayesian Neural Networks to Enhance Predictive Modeling for Civil Engineering Applications
DESCRIPTION:Giovedì 22 febbraio alle ore 11.00 presso l’Aula Fassò (Edificio 4A – p.za Leonardo da Vinci\, 32 – Milano) si terrà un seminario dal titolo: “Advancements in Bayesian Neural Networks to Enhance Predictive Modeling for Civil Engineering Applications“\, tenuto dalla Prof.ssa Audrey Olivier (Sonny Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering\, University of Southern California). \nAbstract \nThe conjuncton of data mining and physics-based modeling holds great potential to help design\, monitor and optimize civil infrastructure systems. Machine learning (ML) tools can be used for a variety of civil engineering applications\, from monitoring the health of structures using sensing data to building efficient surrogates to accelerate mechanistic modeling. The use of ML models for scientific and engineering applications presents unique challenges. Engineering datasets are often noisy\, sparse and imbalanced\, due to the inherent randomness of the underlying physical processes and constraints on data collection. ML predictors must also assimilate physics-based knowledge and intuitions to improve accuracy and generalization away from training data. Finally\, ML models must embed robust prediction of uncertainties to improve trustworthiness for high-consequence decision-making. Framing ML training within a Bayesian inference framework allows for a robust quantification of both aleatory and epistemic uncertainties that arise from data inadequacies\, integration of physics intuitions through prior design\, and assessment of the model’s confidence in its predictions. However\, due to the high-dimensionality and non-physicality of parameters that characterize typical ML models such as neural networks\, application of Bayesian methods in this context raises several challenges\, from prior and likelihood design to posterior inference. In this talk I will present some of the methods we have developed for approximate Bayesian learning of neural networks that integrate meaningful physics-driven priors. I will illustrate the benefits of these methods through a variety of example applications in civil engineering\, from surrogate training to accelerate materials and structural modeling\, contingency analysis in power grid systems\, or ambulance travel time prediction in a dense urban network to help optimize emergency medical services. \nShort Bio \nDr. Olivier holds a Diplôme d’Ingénieur from École Centrale de Nantes\, France\, and a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics from Columbia University\, USA. She held a postdoctoral appointment at Johns Hopkins University before joining the Sonny Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Southern California as an Assistant Professor in Fall 2021. Dr. Olivier’s research aims to predict and monitor civil infrastructure systems behavior under uncertainty\, by combining innovations in probabilistic data analytics and mechanistic modeling. Applications span various scales\, from systems to structures to materials\, and include development of adaptive Bayesian filters for identification of dynamical structural systems\, probabilistic surrogate models to accelerate multi-scale materials simulations or Bayesian graph neural networks for contingency analysis of power grids.\nAdditional information available at: https://www.audreyolivier.com/; https://viterbi.usc.edu/directory/faculty/Olivier/Audrey .

SUMMARY:PhDTalks | A Mixed-dimensional solver for the geoelectrical analysis of highly resistive liners in landfills
DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 27 febbraio nell’aula Fassò (Edificio 4A)\, dalle 17:15 alle 18:30 CET. \nPhDTalks è una serie di seminari e discussioni tra dottorandi. Gli eventi hanno lo scopo di fornire un luogo dove creare un network tra dottorandi ed entrare in contatto con i molteplici progetti sviluppati nel nostro dipartimento. \nLo speaker Lorenzo Panzeri condurrà un seminario dal titolo “A Mixed-dimensional solver for the geoelectrical analysis of highly resistive liners in landfills”.  \nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link. \nAbstract \nThe analysis of the condition of the liner beneath municipal waste landfills is of considerable importance to prevent the spread of pollutants into the underlying layers down to the groundwater zone. Being at depths of several tens of metres in an uncertain location\, it is crucial to find an effective method for its identification. \nDirect current (DC) methods\, in particular ERT (Electric Resistivity Tomography)\, exploit the conductive and resistive properties of the materials\, permitting the identification of both the location of the highly resistive HDPE (High density polyethylene) membrane and the possible diffusion area of the pollutant\, which\, due to its high salt content\, is highly conductive.  A new mixed-dimensional Finite volume numerical model is developing for solving the forward and inverse problems in DC resistivity surveys. \nSpeaker’s bio \nLorenzo is a PhD Candidate in Environmental and Infrastructure Engineering (37° cycle) at Politecnico di Milano with an interdisciplinary scholarship between the Department of Civil and Envirnomental Engineering and the Department of Mathematics. Lorenzo has a Master of Science in Civil Engineering For Risk Mitigation obtained in 2019. In his free time\, Lorenzo loves playing football and doing trail running.

SUMMARY:PhDTalks | Integrating optical and radar imaging to enhance river drought monitoring
DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 5 marzo nell’aula Fassò (Edificio 4A)\, dalle 17:15 alle 18:30 CET. \nPhDTalks è una serie di seminari e discussioni tra dottorandi. Gli eventi hanno lo scopo di fornire un luogo dove creare un network tra dottorandi ed entrare in contatto con i molti progetti sviluppati nel nostro dipartimento. \nLo speaker Stefano Conversi condurrà un seminario dal titolo “Integrating optical and radar imaging to enhance river drought monitoring”.  \nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link. \nAbstract \nDrought events are growingly affecting European and Italian territories\, hampering local environments and biodiversity\, such as the ones relying on rivers for their subsistence. Monitoring of rivers is becoming an important issue to face drought crisis and may be exploited with different tools. Among the most commons\, satellite imagery is exploited to map water coverage\, basing on optical or radar sources. This work proposes a combination of the two sensors to overcome possible limitations of the single dataset exploitation\, reaching a reliable result. The methodology is applied to a stretch of Po River in Lombardy region (Italy). Through Google Earth Engine platform\, optical satellite Sentinel-2 and radar satellite Sentinel-1 data are processed. The combination of the radar data and of the optical spectral indices is carried out through a pixel-based supervised classification\, with a Random Forest classifier. Maps of water coverage are obtained\, numerical outcomes of water surface evaluation are recorded and validated by the mean of reference hydrometric data. A multitemporal analysis is then reported\, aiming to prove the efficiency of the procedure. All iterations show reliable accuracies and correlation among water surface estimation and water table measurements in two sections of interest. In perspective\, the proposed methodology will be implemented in tools for supporting drought monitoring to be integrated in environmental public administration policies. \nSpeaker’s bio \nStefano is a PhD Student in Environmental and Infrastructure Engineering\, within the Geodesy and Geomatics section. In 2021 he obtained the Master degree in Civil Engineering for Risk Mitigation at Politecnico di Milano. Currently he is part of the Innovazione project supported by Politecnico and Regione Lombardia\, for which he collaborates with the Operative Unit for management and preservation of Biodiversity.D Stefano likes to spend his free time travelling\, attending live concerts and baking.

SUMMARY:Exploiting computational models for (near) real-time landslide risk assessment
DESCRIPTION:Lunedì 11 marzo alle ore 12.00 presso l’Aula Grandori (Edificio 4 – p.za Leonardo da Vinci\, 32 – Milano) si terrà un seminario dal titolo: “Exploiting computational models for (near) real-time landslide risk assessment“\, tenuto dal Dr. sc. Anil Yildiz (Methods for Model-based Development in Computational Engineering\, RWTH Aachen University\, Aachen\, Germany). \nAbstract \nRisks due to single catastrophic landslide events or spatially concentrated shallow landslides on ecosystem\, infrastructure and human lives are increasing with higher number of events whether due to climate change or other anthropogenic activities. Model-based decision support in landslide risk assessment benefits from the high predictivity of complex computational models to provide decisions with less uncertainty and more reliability. While such models with high computational demand can be used in the production of susceptibility or hazard maps\, incorporation into near real-time applications\, such as early warning systems or automatically updated hazard maps\, is still a challenge. Replacing the computationally expensive model with a relatively cheap-to-built and nearly instantaneously predicting surrogate model is one solution of using complex models of geohazards in decision support. A strategy to exploit computational models for real-time landslide risk assessment will be presented in this talk with examples such as uncertainty quantification and parameter estimation. \nSpeaker’s bio \nAnil Yildiz is a senior research and deputy director of the Chair of Methods of Model-based Development in Computational Engineering\, RWTH Aachen University\, Germany\, and he is leading the research group Engineering Climate Change Response. He earned his BSc. and MSc. degrees in Civil Engineering at Bogazici University\, and obtained his Dr. sc. in Civil Engineering from ETH Zurich in 2018. He has been awarded the Culmann Prize 2019 for an outstanding thesis on the quantification of biological effects on soil stability. His research focusses mainly on geohazards\, covering a wide range of topics\, such as shallow landslides\, root reinforcement\, soil-plant-atmosphere interactions\, and methods\, such as complex laboratory and field testing as well as computational and surrogate modelling.

SUMMARY:PhDTalks | Investigation of channel aggradation due to sediment overloading
DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 19 marzo nell’aula Fassò (Edificio 4A)\, dalle 17:15 alle 18:30 CET. \nPhDTalks è una serie di seminari e discussioni tra dottorandi. Gli eventi hanno lo scopo di fornire un luogo dove creare un network tra dottorandi ed entrare in contatto con i molteplici progetti sviluppati nel nostro dipartimento. \nLo speaker Hasan Eslami condurrà un seminario dal titolo “Investigation of channel aggradation due to sediment overloading”.  \nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link. \nAbstract \nWhen a channel is overloaded with sediment\, an aggradation wave propagates with a certain celerity along the reach. Estimation of the local aggradation depth and of the celerity of propagation are important for hazard assessment and emergency planning. In the current project the aggradation process is studied using a variety of approaches to meet different objectives. First\, the celerity of propagation of aggradation wave is investigated by performing an appropriate experimental campaign. Furthermore\, considering that morphological processes are modeled by differential equations\, the eigenvalues of the latter’s system represent the celerity of propagation of small perturbations. With reference to the laboratory experiments with temporally and spatially detailed measurements\, our investigation shows how the celerity of propagation of aggradation wave and the eigenvalues correlate with one another\, while their values differ by orders of magnitude. Second\, the aggradation process studied experimentally are reproduced with corresponding numerical simulations in one-dimensional conditions\, demonstrating that the presence of sediment transport in a flow may result in an increase in the equivalent Manning’s coefficient. Third\, the aggradation process is also simulated using a linear diffusion equation. In this context\, an analytical solution for the diffusion equation is employed in the performed aggradation experiments\, revealing that a constant value for the diffusion coefficient is enough to reproduce the bed evolution within an experiment. \nSpeaker’s bio \nHasan completed his master’s degree in “Civil Engineering for Risk Mitigation” at Politecnico di Milano in 2021. He is currently pursuing his PhD program (37th cycle) at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Politecnico di Milano. His research focuses on the ” Investigation of channel aggradation due to sediment overloading.”\nIn his leisure hours\, Hasan enjoys traveling and listening to music.

SUMMARY:Biogas upgrading coupled with wastewater treatment in algal-bacterial photobioreactors
DESCRIPTION:Mercoledì 3 aprile dalle ore 9:30 alle 11:30 presso l’Aula Fassò (Edificio 4A – p.za Leonardo da Vinci\, 32 – Milano) si terrà un seminario dal titolo: “Biogas upgrading coupled with wastewater treatment in algal-bacterial photobioreactors“\, tenuto da María del Rosario Rodero (postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Sustainable Processes of the University of Valladolid\, Spain ). \nAbstract \nThe intensification of the symbiosis between microalgae and heterotrophic/chemoautotrophic bacteria in photobioreactors represents an innovative platform for the simultaneous removal of CO2 and H2S from biogas. In these systems\, microalgae use the light energy to fix the CO2 via photosynthesis with the subsequent generation of oxygen. This oxygen is used for the oxidation of H2S to sulfate. This biotechnology can also support the recovery of nutrients from wastewaters in the form of biomass\, which could be used as biofertilizer. This lecture aims at providing an overview of the latest advances made in the photosynthetic biogas upgrading field. Particular attention is devoted to summarizing the key operational and environmental parameters impacting the microalgae-based biogas upgrading. \nSpeaker’s bio \nMaría del Rosario Rodero is a postdoctoral researcher Margarita Salas at the Institute of Sustainable Processes of the University of Valladolid\, Spain. She is a member of the Young Water Professionals Spanish Chapter\, where she currently collaborates in the training area. María del Rosario Rodero studied Chemical Engineering at the University of Granada (Spain)\, and holds a PhD in Chemical and Environmental Engineering from the University of Valladolid (Spain). She has received the “María Francisca García Usach” award from the DAM Chair for the Best Doctoral Thesis in Sustainable Management and Wastewater Resource Recovery in Spain. Her research mainly focuses on biological processes for converting waste gases\, such as biogas\, into value-added bioproducts.

SUMMARY:DICA4Agenda2030: Il nuovo paradigma di città sostenibile tra tutela del suolo e soluzioni “naturali”
DESCRIPTION:Partecipa giovedì 2 Maggio\, dalle 17:30 alle 18:30\, al seminario condotto dalla Prof.ssa Arianna Azzellino nell’ambito del Festival dello Sviluppo Sostenibile 2024. Il seminario intitolato ‘Il nuovo paradigma di città sostenibile tra tutela del suolo e soluzioni “naturali” ‘ sarà trasmesso online via Webex previa iscrizione\, una volta registrati si riceverà via e-mail il link per seguire il seminario. \n\nForm d’iscrizione all’evento\n\nDescrizione attività\nDa sempre l’uomo affronta le sfide che gli vengono poste dall’ambiente in cui vive con soluzioni di tipo ingegneristico. Ad esempio: ci si difende dalle possibili alluvioni costruendo argini\, difese spondali o vasche di laminazione\, o dal caldo\, costruendo case dalle mura spesse e con “climatizzatori” di vario genere e la lista potrebbe essere molto lunga. Per quanto molte di queste soluzioni ingegneristiche sfruttino dei principi per i quali gli ambienti naturali sono stati di ispirazione\, la loro caratteristica è quella di prevedere la costruzione di strutture non naturali. Oggi sappiamo quanto sia importante mantenere delle porzioni di naturalità anche all’interno dell’ambiente costruito: sono le cosiddette Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) o soluzioni basate sulla natura. Il seminario illustrerà i principi delle NBS e fornirà degli esempi di applicazione nell’affrontare le principali sfide socio-ambientali del nostro tempo con particolare attenzione al tema della pianificazione urbana sostenibile e della tutela del suolo.

SUMMARY:DICA4Agenda2030: Meteorologia e Climatologia: Due Facce della stessa Medaglia
DESCRIPTION:Partecipa martedì 7 Maggio\, dalle 17:30 alle 18:30\, al seminario condotto dal Prof. Alessandro Ceppi nell’ambito del Festival dello Sviluppo Sostenibile 2024. Il seminario intitolato ‘Meteorologia e Climatologia: Due Facce della stessa Medaglia‘ sarà trasmesso online via Webex previa iscrizione\, una volta registrati si riceverà via e-mail il link per seguire il seminario. \n\nForm d’iscrizione all’evento\n\nDescrizione attività\nSpesso meteorologia e climatologia vengono fraintese dai mezzi di comunicazione e dalla gente comune. Ben diverso è il significato di queste due discipline scientifiche: la prima si occupa da sempre di previsioni del tempo a breve e medio termine\, la seconda definisce\, sulla base di dati del passato\, le caratteristiche climatiche di un luogo.  Affronteremo questo viaggio\, partendo da un background storico fino ad arrivare ai nostri giorni: da come nascono le previsioni meteo ai cambiamenti climatici attuali. Inoltre\, l’utilizzo di una stazione meteorologica nell’attività didattica è uno strumento importantissimo affinché lo studente possa comprendere come si devono misurare correttamente le principali variabili atmosferiche affinché diano valori sensati. Gli obiettivi principali di questo seminario sono: capire l’importanza di una stazione meteorologica\, presentare una panoramica generale sulle variabili meteorologiche\, mostrare una guida al corretto posizionamento dei sensori che costituiscono una stazione meteo.

SUMMARY:DICA4Agenda2030: Acqua e cibo: l’ingegneria nascosta del nostro quotidiano
DESCRIPTION:Partecipa martedì 14 Maggio\, dalle 17:30 alle 18:30\, al seminario condotto dalla Prof.ssa Manuela Antonelli nell’ambito del Festival dello Sviluppo Sostenibile 2024. Il seminario intitolato ‘Acqua e cibo: l’ingegneria nascosta del nostro quotidiano‘ sarà fruibile in presenza presso l’Aula 3.1.3 del Politecnico di Milano e online via Webex previa iscrizione\, una volta registrati si riceverà via e-mail il link per seguire il seminario. \n\nForm d’iscrizione all’evento\nIndirizzo aula 3.1.3 (Politecnico di Milano – Piazza Leonardo da Vinci 32 – Edificio 3 – Piano: Primo)\n\nDescrizione attività\nOgni giorno utilizziamo l’acqua per molteplici azioni: bere\, lavare\, cucinare. Ogni giorno consumiamo cibi acquistati. Mai ci soffermiamo sulla strada che quell’acqua e quei cibi hanno compiuto per giungere fino a noi e cosa li rende sicuri per il consumo. La nostra società ha infatti potuto godere di un solido sviluppo grazie alla fornitura di acqua potabile di qualità e a un’agricoltura prospera. Il cambiamento climatico e gli attuali stili di vita possono però rappresentare un rischio\, e le conseguenze sono sempre più evidenti in termini sia di scarsità della risorsa idrica\, che favorisce pratiche di riutilizzo delle acque reflue in agricoltura\, sia di inquinamento delle acque naturali\, associato anche a composti presenti in concentrazioni molto basse come i farmaci e i loro metaboliti\, e i prodotti per l’igiene personale. Ciò può potenzialmente portare nel futuro a compromettere la qualità dell’acqua potabile\, ma anche quella delle colture per accumulo degli inquinanti presenti nelle acque di irrigazione\, se non si interviene per ridurre la presenza di tali composti. E’ per raggiungere questo obiettivo di mitigazione e riduzione del rischio per il consumatore che entra in gioco l’Ingegnere Ambiente Territorio. In questo seminario capiremo come si rende potabile l’acqua\, come si recuperano le acque reflue per l’irrigazione\, come intervenire nel ciclo antropico dell’acqua per rimuovere inquinanti potenzialmente pericolosi e garantire acqua e cibo sicuri.

SUMMARY:Simulation of concentrated non-Brownian frictional and adhesive suspensions in linear and nonlinear flows
DESCRIPTION:Giovedì 16 maggio alle ore 14:30 presso l’Aula 7.1.3 (Edificio 7 – p.za Leonardo da Vinci\, 32 – Milano) si terrà un seminario dal titolo: “Simulation of concentrated non-Brownian frictional and adhesive suspensions in linear and nonlinear flows“\, tenuto da Michel Orsi (Postdoctoral Research Associate and an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Levich Institute of the City College of New York). \nAbstract \nI present a particle-scale simulation method for non-Brownian suspension flows at low Reynolds number\, based on the Fictitious Domain Method and supplemented by sub-grid lubrication corrections. In their usual form\, sub-grid corrections involve the underlying linear flow. In the present work\, the conditions required to avoid considering this ambient flow while keeping frame indifference are determined\, and a sub-grid correction matrix is built for the particle-particle and particle-wall hydrodynamic interactions such that the mentioned conditions inherently hold. This procedure extends the correct use of such sub-grid corrections to nonlinear flows. Then\, I show the role of adhesive forces in frictional suspensions\, by varying both the intensity of adhesion and the volume fraction: after presenting the difficulties of simulating adhesive suspensions at low volume fractions due to particle depletion at the wall and shear-banding\, I show that the relative viscosity of the suspension is a function of both volume fraction and shear stress. The variation of the viscosity with these two parameters may be understood in the usual frame of suspension jamming\, provided that the jamming volume fraction now depends on the dimensionless suspension stress that involves the adhesive force between particles. The variation of the jamming volume fraction with stress may be interpreted as the variation of the yield stress with volume fraction. This curve separates the plane (volume fraction\, shear stress) into two regions: one in which the suspension flows and the other in which it jams. I continue by investigating the shear-induced particle migration in a pressure-driven channel suspension flow. In such a system\, particles are driven toward the channel center\, resulting in a volume fraction gradient across the channel and a plug region where the jamming volume fraction as measured in shear flow may be exceeded. The flow profile is thus highly nonlinear\, both due to the pressure gradient and the time-varying concentration gradient\, which justifies the use of the present numerical method. I compare the results to a modified version of the Suspension Balance Model\, confirming the well-known limits of such a model in the plug region. Finally\, I thoroughly show that the computed stresses obey the usual momentum balance in the channel: the tangential stress is indeed driven by the pressure gradient as predicted by theory and the second normal stress (parallel to the velocity gradient) does not vary over the channel width\, although contact and hydrodynamic contributions significantly do over both time and space. This confirms the good behavior of the present numerical method when nonlinear flows are tackled. \nSpeaker’s bio \nMichel Orsi got a Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering and a Master’s degree in Aeronautical Engineering with specialization in Aerodynamics\, both at Politecnico di Milano. To complete his Master’s thesis\, he went to the Fluid Mechanics and Acoustics Laboratory of the Ecole Centrale de Lyon\, where he studied the passive scalar dispersion and mixing in homogeneous isotropic turbulence under the supervision of Pietro Salizzoni\, Maurizio Boffadossi\, and Raffaele Marino. Then\, he joined Elisabeth Lemaire’s group at the Institute of Physics of Nice to pursue a PhD in Physics under the supervision of François Peters and Laurent Lobry\, during which he developed a cutting-edge particle-scale numerical method able to correctly simulate both the full hydrodynamics (short- and long-range) and the direct interactions between the particles. He is now a Postdoctoral Research Associate and an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Levich Institute of the City College of New York\, where he is working with Jeff Morris on the direct visualization and mechanical analysis of roller processing of chocolate refining paste and on the rigidity development in shear-thickening dense suspensions.

SUMMARY:DICA4Agenda2030: Il crollo delle torri gemelle: Ingegneria Strutturale vs. tesi complottiste
DESCRIPTION:Partecipa giovedì 16 Maggio\, dalle 17:30 alle 18:30\, al seminario condotto dal Prof. Enrico Masoero nell’ambito del Festival dello Sviluppo Sostenibile 2024. Il seminario intitolato ‘Il crollo delle torri gemelle: Ingegneria Strutturale vs. tesi complottiste‘ sarà trasmesso online via Webex previa iscrizione\, una volta registrati si riceverà via e-mail il link per seguire il seminario. \n\nForm d’iscrizione all’evento\n\nDescrizione attività \n11 Settembre 2001: due aerei di linea\, dirottati da terroristi\, si schiantano sulle Torri Gemelle del World Trade Centre\, a New York City. Dopo ore di incendio\, entrambe le torri crollano\, facendo oltre 3000 vittime. L’evento ha trasformato la vita degli Americani e la politica internazionale\, a tal punto da destare sospetti che fossero coinvolti proprio i Servizi Segreti americani. Tra queste tesi complottiste\, il seminario affronterà la più estrema\, cioè che il crollo delle torri sia stato in realtà causato da esplosivi pre-impiantati dai Servizi Segreti negli edifici. Questa idea è nata guardando al modo in cui sono crollate le torri; modo che è difficile spiegare come risultato dell’impatto degli aerei ma che invece ricorda molto il crollo di edifici durante le demolizioni controllate con esplosivo. In questo seminario\, l’analisi strutturale del crollo proverà a dimostrarci che non c’era bisogno di esplosivi: riuscirà a convincerci?
