Luca Ciacci is Associate Professor at the Department of Industrial Chemistry “Toso Montanari” at the University of Bologna. His research line includes the analysis of anthropogenic cycles of strategical and critical resources, the assessment of the nexus between demand-supply dynamics of materials, and their environmental consequences for the sustainability challenge. To this aim, material flow analysis (MFA), life cycle assessment (LCA), and chemometrics techniques are commonly applied and mainstreamed in the field of Environmental Chemistry and Industrial Ecology
