About
Alessia Coluccia is a leading researcher in environmental microbiology and disinfection science, with a primary focus on ultraviolet (UV) radiation technologies for infection control. Her most cited work, "An overview on the use of ultraviolet radiation to disinfect air and surfaces" (2023), provides a comprehensive synthesis of UVC’s antimicrobial mechanisms and practical applications, bridging fundamental photobiology with real-world public health needs. This review has garnered 6 citations, establishing her as a key voice in the post-pandemic push for sustainable, chemical-free disinfection strategies. Coluccia’s contributions extend beyond academia; her research directly informs guidelines for UV-based air and surface decontamination in healthcare and public spaces, addressing critical gaps in pathogen transmission prevention. By systematically analyzing UVA, UVB, and UVC efficacy across water, air, and surfaces, she has helped standardize protocols for safe UV deployment. Her work is particularly notable for integrating historical knowledge with emerging challenges, making her a vital resource for students and practitioners seeking evidence-based solutions for environmental hygiene.
