Matteo Romano
Principal Investigator & Research Project Lead | Environmental Science & Microplastics Research
Environmental researcher and Principal Investigator of the Microplastics in Urban Water project.
I lead interdisciplinary research focused on freshwater pollution, microplastic monitoring, and evidence-based environmental assessment. My work combines scientific coordination, methodological quality, and collaborative research to better understand plastic contamination in urban aquatic ecosystems.
Research Focus
- Microplastic pollution in urban waterways
- Environmental sampling and quality assurance
- FTIR-based polymer identification
- Scientific project coordination
- Environmental data interpretation
Current Project: Microplastics in Urban Water
Leading a research team investigating microplastic concentrations, polymer composition, and particle distribution across three freshwater monitoring sites.
Collaboration: Working with Emily Gibson, Lars Andersen, and Joao Ferreira to ensure reliable research methods, transparent analysis, and scientifically sound findings.
