CARRIERA ACCADEMICA<\/strong><\/p>

Giovanni Passalacqua \u00e8 laureato magistrale in Ingegneria Civile presso l\u2019Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Messina. Dopo un periodo di attivit\u00e0 professionale presso imprese e studi di progettazione, dal 2021 al 2024 ha svolto un dottorato di ricerca presso la stessa Universit\u00e0, conducendo una ricerca sperimentale sulla dinamica dei rifiuti plastici non galleggianti in ambiente costiero. Durante il dottorato ha trascorso un periodo di ricerca presso i laboratori della Technical University of Denmark (DTU). Dal 2024 \u00e8 assegnista di ricerca presso l\u2019Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Messina (progetto\u00a0Minosse<\/i>) e successivamente presso l\u2019Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Catania (progetto\u00a0Platone<\/i>), dove conduce test e analisi sulla dinamica di particelle plastiche galleggianti, con particolare attenzione alla velocit\u00e0 di trasporto e ai meccanismi di spiaggiamento sul profilo di spiaggia.<\/p>
