About me
I am a researcher in civil and environmental engineering, specializing in natural hazards, hazard analysis and mitigation, with a focus on rockfall. Winner of the highly competitive European Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant (HORIZON-MSCA-2022-PF-01), I am currently a Marie Curie Researcher (https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/ 101103401) at Politecnico di Torino (POLITO) with a project related to fragmentation processes in rockfall propagation and risk analysis in mountain and mining contexts, during which she carried out part of her research activities (1.5 year) at the Centre for Geotechnical Science and Engineering at the University of Newcastle, Australia.
Previously I was a fixed-term Assistant Professor, and formerly a postdoctoral fellow at POLITO, I have been conducting her research mainly on the topics of risk analysis and design of structural mitigation measures for the past 8 years.
After obtaining her Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering, devoted to debris flow, her research focused on rock slope instability phenomena. She is an active member of the Rockfall Protection Engineering Research Center and the Multidisciplinary Interdepartmental Center SISCON at POLITO.
I have authored 63 publications (34 in international peer-reviewed journals and 29 in conference proceedings) and contributed to 28 research projects funded by the EU, national and local governments, and industry. I am serving on the editorial boards of two peer-reviewed journals, Environmental and Mining Geoengineering and Geosciences, and reviews for several international journals.
I have participated in scientific and/or organizing committees for 10 conferences (3 national, 7 international).
I hold the Italian scientific qualification for Associate Professor in both “Excavation Engineering” and “Geotechnics.” Since 2018, I have been an adjunct professor at Politecnico di Torino, supervising 14 master’s theses and co-supervising 2 doctoral students.
