Leonardo Rosado

Studierektor at Architecture and Civil Engineering

Leonardo Rosado is an Associate professor in the Division of Water Environment Technology, research theme Urban Metabolism, at Chalmers.

Leonardo Rosado focuses on the Urban Metabolism field, using a holistic approach to develop methods to study all resource flows of cities. Leonardo has developed a groundbreaking method to account for materials in urban areas – the Urban Metabolism Analyst. The main goal is to study cities to provide valuable information to stakeholders on different levels: waste management, urban planning, industry and households.
