Rajandrea Sethi graduated with honors in Environmental
Engineering at the Politecnico of Torino in Italy where he obtained his Ph.D. in
Environmental Geoengineering after visiting Waterloo University in Canada.
He is Associate Professor in the group of "Groundwater and Petroleum
Engineering" at the Department of Environmental Engineering (DITAG) of the
Politecnico of Torino where he holds the course of “Groundwater Engineering”.
His studies focus on field of groundwater engineering
and in particular on flow and contaminant transport modelling, remedial
alternatives development sampling techniques and environmental nanotechnologies.
He participated to the design and monitoring of the only Italian zerovalent iron
PRB that was emplaced in Avigliana, close to the city of Torino.
Since 2006, in
the framework of several project, founded by Italian government and one by EU (AQUAREHAB
project), he has been focusing on the application and transport of micro- and
nanoscale iron particles for the remediation of contaminated aquifer systems.
He
is, also, currently responsible for the aquifer monitoring in the framework of
the MOSE Project for the defence of the Lagoon of Venice from high tides.
He thought several short courses on aquifer
characterization, contaminant transport and modelling, aquifer remediation,
fluid dynamics at national and international institutions. In 2009 he gave the
Excellence course “Colloidal and nanoparticle transport in saturated porous
media” as a part of the course “Conceptual and mathematical modeling of
phenomena of transport in porous media” by Jacob Bear.
He supervised 40 M.Sc. and Ph.D. thesis and he is author
of more than 30 journal articles and of a textbook of Groundwater Engineering
edited by Springer.
