Since 2022, Prof. Giuseppe Cannistraro has been serving as Full Professor of Environmental Technical Physics at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Messina. He is Member of the Italian Thermotechnical Association (A.T.I.)., of the Environmental Acoustics Group (G.A.A.) of the Italian Acoustics Association (A.I.A.) and of the Italian Society of Ergonomics, as well as Member of the "MICROCLIMA" working group of the Ergonomics Commission of UNI "National Unification Body". Prof. Giuseppe Cannistraro has collaborated with national and international research institutes and has been the owner of research projects concerning the plant engineering sector, funded by the Ministry of P.I. and Scientific Research. During his scientific activity, he has paid particular interest to the broad issues of human well-being within the built environment. He tackled the problem of well-being in its various aspects: building-system integration, climatology, heat transmission, radiative exchanges, all with a view to identifying the parameters that affect internal comfort. The aforementioned activity has led to the publication of about 150 original scientific papers published in international and national journals and presented at international and national congresses. He is also referee of numerous international scientific journals.
