Short description of research profile

The group is dedicated to the following research activities:

1) Mathematical and numerical modelling of flood phenomena for flood hazard and risk assessment in floodplains and urban areas;

2) Mathematical and numerical analysis of water interaction with hydraulic structures;

3) Machine learning approaches for modelling hydrological and hydraulic phenomena (e.g. prediction of leakages in water distribution networks);

4) Coastal vulnerability and coastal risk assessment on beaches and coasts;

5) Wave energy analysis for WECs and offshore wind mooring analysis;

6) Wave run-up and rip currents modelling and monitoring.
