Vincenzo is a Senior Research Associate in the Department of Mechanical & Industrial Engineering at the University of Toronto. Before joining the ATOMS Lab, he was a Professor of Geophysics at Universidad Simón Bolívar (Venezuela) and a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Physics at the University of Toronto. He holds an MSc and PhD in Physics from the University of Toronto, a BSc in Physics from Universidad Simón Bolívar, and an MBA in Environmental Project Management from the University of Santiago de Compostela (Spain). He has worked extensively on rock magnetism applied to environmental and hydrocarbon exploration, with a focus on near-surface characterization of petroleum reservoirs using magnetic and geochemical signatures from oil and gas microseepage through the porous media of the overlying strata. Since joining the ATOMS Lab, his research has focused on producing 3D electrical conductivity tomographic images of landfill sites, combined with methane emissions, geochemical data, and numerical methods to quantify the relationship between surface processes and subsurface leachate accumulation. He is currently engaged in applied research with Canadian Indigenous communities, using integrated geophysical, geochemical, and hydrogeological modelling to assess pollutant transport and associated health impacts. His work contributes to the development of science-based tools that empower communities in environmental monitoring, risk assessment, and informed decision-making.
