SHORT BIOGRAPHY
He graduated with honors in Civil Engineering, specializing in Hydraulic Engineering, from the University of Basilicata (UniBas) in 2001. In 2004, he earned his Ph.D. in Methods and Technologies for Environmental Monitoring from a program run by a consortium composed of the University of Basilicata, Rome La Sapientia University, University of Genoa, University of L’Aquila, and University of Florence. From 2004 to 2005, he worked as a research associate at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Princeton University. He held the position of research fellow from 2006 to 2008, researcher from 2008 to 2014, and then became an Associate Professor of Hydraulic and Maritime Constructions and Hydrology (ICAR/02) from 2014 to 2019 at UniBas. Finally, he became a Full Professor of Hydraulic and Maritime Constructions and Hydrology (ICAR/02) in 2019 at the University of Naples Federico II.
TEACHING ACTIVITIES
Throughout his career, he has been actively engaged in teaching across various academic programs. His expertise extends to the fields of Civil-Environmental Engineering and Architecture. Notably, he has offered instruction in the following courses:
- Hydrology
- Advanced Hydrological Monitoring
- Hydraulic Constructions
- Flood Risk Protection and Land Reclamations
- Water Resources Management
- Engineering Methods for Irrigation
- Hydrology and Hydraulic Constructions
- Ecohydrology
Presently, he holds the position of lecturer for the Flood Risk Protection and Land Reclamations, Hydraulic Construction and Advanced Hydrological Monitoring courses within the framework of the Federico II Polytechnic School. Beyond his local teaching commitments, he has also made significant contributions to international education initiatives. His teaching engagements have taken place at esteemed university institutions and research centers, both within Italy and abroad.
