Research

Research experience focuses on flood risk assessment and management. Development of damage assessment tools, with a multidisciplinary approach, is at the core of the research, for both ex-post (on the bases of field investigation) and ex-ante analyses (following a synthetic approach). Investigated sectors include, but are not limited to: residential buildings, economic activities, critical infrastructures and people, both at the meso (municipal, provincial) and at the micro (object-level) scale. Applied research involves the use of developed tools for the evaluation of risk mitigation strategies, e.g. the CBA/MCA of flood risk management plans, the definition of Emergency Plans and Recovery Plans.
