Iason Verginelli is a researcher at the University of Rome “Tor Vergata”. He received his degree in Environmental Engineering in 2008 at the University of Rome “Tor Vergata”. He earned his PhD in Environmental Engineering in 2012 at the University of “Tor Vergata”. Dr. Verginelli has project experience in human health risk assessment and characterization and remediation of contaminated sites. He is the author and developer of the “Risk-net” tool (www.reconnet.net), one of the most widely used software program at the Italian national scale for the evaluation of soil and groundwater remediation sites. He is co-author (together with Prof. Yao) of the tools “PVI2D” and “CVI2D” for the evaluation of petroleum and chlorinated vapor intrusion (www.pvitools.net). He participated as a trainer in different classes on risk-assessment for second-level Professional Master's Programmes and for professional courses of environmental control agencies. Currently, Dr. Verginelli is working on a number of projects related to vapor intrusion including field investigations and model development.
