Joao Adriano Rossignolo

Professor at the Department of Biosystems Engineering at FZEA-USP, with expertise in the development of sustainable materials and innovative strategies for CO2 sequestration. His work stands out for the pursuit of technological solutions that promote sustainability in civil construction and contribute to mitigating climate change. He completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Universitat Politècnica de València, Spain (07/2017 to 07/2018), where he deepened his research on sustainable solutions for civil construction. He holds a Habilitation in Architecture, Urbanism, and Technology (EESC-USP, 2009), a PhD in Materials Science and Engineering (EESC/IFSC/IQSC-USP, 2003) with a sandwich period at LNEC-Lisbon, a Masters in Architecture and Urbanism (EESC-USP, 1999), and a Bachelors degree in Civil Engineering (EESC-USP, 1993). He served as Head of the Department of Biosystems Engineering at FZEA/USP (11/2014 to 05/2017) and has been Vice-Mayor of the Fernando Costa Campus in Pirassununga-SP since 08/2018. He is the author of the book "Structural Lightweight Concrete: Production, Properties, Microstructure, and Applications" (PINI Publishing) and serves as a reviewer for leading international journals, such as *Cement and Concrete Research*, *Construction and Building Materials*, *Computers and Concrete*, and *ACI Materials Journal*.He is currently an accredited supervisor for the Graduate Program in Engineering and Materials Science (FZEA-USP) and leads the CNPq research group I-Mat (Innovation in Sustainable Materials). His main areas of expertise include the development of solutions for the use of agro-industrial by-products in civil construction, the promotion of circular economy, ECODESIGN, and the application of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in civil construction. Additionally, his studies cover special concretes, lightweight concrete, and concrete microstructure, with a focus on reducing environmental impact and carbon sequestration. He has been a member of the Research Support Center BioSMat Materials for Biosystems at USP since 2012.For more details on his scientific output, please visit his Scopus profile: www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=8082370200.
