Biography

Stefano LO RUSSO Ph.D., is Mayor of Torino, Mayor of Metropolitan City of Torino since 27th October 2021 Geologist, Professor of Engineering geology in the Department of Environment, Land and Infrastructure Engineering at Politecnico di Torino. He was born in Torino (Italy) on October 15th, 1975. Graduated cum laude in Geological Sciences in 1999 he holds a Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering from Politecnico di Torino in 2004. He was Assistant Professor at Politecnico from 2007 until 2014 and Associate Professor from 2014 until 2017. From July 2017 to October 2021 he was the Rector's delegate for relations with the Russian Federation. He is member of the IAH (International Association of Hydrogeologists). Co-founder and board member of EST (Energy Security and Transition Lab) at the Energy Center of Politecnico di Torino. He is Associate Editor of Geofluids (Wiley) and member of the Editorial Board of Environmental Earth Sciences (Springer). His research activity focuses mainly on the study of low-enthalpy geothermal systems and the hydrogeological problems related to the protection of groundwater resources. Other scientific interests regard the engineering geologic digital mapping, the rock-fall risk analysis and mitigation, the energy security and transition, the raw materials and the mining sustainability. His teaching activity regards Engineering Geology, Hydrogeology, Petroleum and Mining Geology, Geothermal Energy, Land planning Visiting Professor at -MGIMO University (Moscow, Russian Federation) -Peter The Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University (St. Petersburg, Russian Federation -Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas (Moscow, Russian Federation) Invited Distinguished Lecturer at the University of Queensland (Brisbane, QLD, Australia) Visiting Scholar at the NCGRT - National Center for Groundwater Research and Training and Flinders University (Adelaide, South Australia)
