Curriculum

Rossana Paparella graduated in civil engineering in may 1983 at Padua University; in the academic year 1983-84 she earned her Specialization Course in Building Industrialization and in the academic year 1984-85 she earned her Specialization Course in Territory Engineering, both from Padua University, Faculty of engineering, Institute of Architecture and Urbanism. In 1984 she has won the scholarship “ing. Guglielmo Marin” of the Veneto Institute of Letters Sciences and Arts in Venice reserved to the graduates in Engineering of the university of Padua to develop a six month stage at a laboratory in western Europe; from august 1984 to january 1985 she has developed a 6 month stage near the Centre Scientifique et Téchnique du Batiment (C.S.T.B.) of Marne-La-Vallé, where she developed the following research topic: "Etude des risques de condensations dans les vêtures étanches". In 1987 she won a researcher contest (S.S.D. ICAR/10) at the engineering school of Trento University where she worked up to 2003 and subsequently she works up to 2011 at the university of Padua. In the November 2010, following a comparative evaluation she has been qualified for the associate professor position for the sector S.S.D. ICAR /11. In December 2011 she has gone on duty as associate professor. She teaches Building Production and Laboratory, Building Restoration and Conservation - Master Degree in Building Engineering/Architecture and Building Production – Civil Engineering . She was the director of the Master “Bio-building and management of Real Estate Projects in Africa”.
The research activity focuses on innovation and sustainability in the building process. In particular, it deals with issues related to product innovation and process innovation in the construction sector, the quality control of products for the construction and their integration in the building. She is author of over 100 publications of which 70 at international level. Her scientific production consists in monographs and articles on book and contributions on proceedings of international conferences CIB, IAHS and IABSE at international level and ISTeA at national level. She was responsible of numerous research project. She is member of UNI ( Italian body of standardization) IAI (International Alliance for Interoperability) and CIB (International Council for Building) and she is advisor of the DAUR CIB Student Chapter in Padua that she has contributed to constitute in the year 2010 until 2016. Since 2013 she participates as expert in the activities of the IEA-SHC Task 51 Solar Energy in Urban Planning (http://task51.iea-shc.org). The research program was developed from 2013 to 2017.
