Giorgio Mannina is Professor of Sanitary and Environmental Engineering at the Department of Civil, Environmental, Aerospace, Materials Engineering (DICAM), University of Palermo. He is in charge of the research line on integrated urban drainage systems and nutrient removal from urban wastewater in the ISA-UNIPA group. He has a degree in Civil engineering from University of Palermo and a Doctorate in Hydraulic engineering from University of Catania. In 2006 he obtained his PhD at the Catania University presenting the thesis: Integrated urban drainage modelling with uncertainty for stormwater pollution management. Since 2016 he is a member of the Scientific council at Palermo University. 

In 2010 he has been awarded of the Torricelli prize as one of the best five Italian researchers. In 2012 he received the Early Career Research Excellence Award by the International Environmental Modelling and Software Society.  

He is Editor of Cogent Engeneer Journal (Taylor & Francis) and The Open Hydrology Journal, Associate Editor for Water Science and Technology, Water Science and Technology: Water Supply, International Journal of Water Sciences and Current Biochemical Engineering. Giorgio Mannina has been Host-Editor of a Special Issue on Uncertainty Assessment for Physics and Chemistry of the Earth Journal. 

Most of Giorgio's research and education activities involves transdisciplinary collaborations with scientists from neighbouring disciplines such as hydrology, environmental chemistry and microbiology, process and control engineering, spatial planning and socio-technical sciences.
