Biography
Giovanna Antonella Dino, graduated in Mining Engineering (Politecnico di Torino)
and qualified as mining engineer since 2001. PhD course in Environmental
Geoengineering (DIGET – Politecnico di Torino) ended in 2004: the research was about
environmental problems connected to quarrying activities and, mainly, to quarry waste
management and recovery.
Research areas:
- sustainable mining (resources exploitation, extractive waste management and recovery,
environmental impacts, geopolitical issues, economic and legislative challenges);
- circular economy (waste management, processing, recovery/recycling, energy efficiency);
- cultural heritage (application of stones in historical contexts and cultural heritage);
At present time she is working at University of Torino (Earth Sciences Department) as researcher
(Professor assistant), interested in quarrying and mining activities. Responsible of Mineral Dressing and
Sampling Laboratory at Earth Sciences Department.
Member of the board of Directors of CIDIU S.p.A. (Public Enterprise dealing with waste management
and recovery).
Involved from 2001 in projects which deals with the impacts, the management and the potential reuse
of mining and quarrying waste, and in several studies concerning exploitation of natural and dimension
stones, with a focus on heritage stones. From 2001 she published more than 120 scientific papers and
abstracts, presented during National and International Conferences or published in scientific journals.
Member of ANIM and GEAM associations. Skilled (Cultore della materia) in “Mineral dressing” and
“Applied geology”.
National Scientific Qualification (Idoneity) as Associate Professor in: “Applied geology” (from
September 2023); “Geochemistry, mineralogy, petrography, volcanology, georesources and application”
(from June 2021) and “Raw Materials Engineering” (mining engineering) (from Jan. 2021).
Chairperson of Scientific Sessions at several National and International Congresses, and Guest Editor
for several journals of repute.
