Biography

I graduated in Civil-Geotechnical Engineering in March 2021 with a thesis on multi-risk analysis of snow avalanche events. Currently, I am carrying out a PhD at the DIATI Department of Politecnico di Torino. My research primarily focuses on rockfall problems, with particular attention to the dynamic response of rockfall protection embankments during impact conditions. Throughout my research activities, I have developed expertise in dynamic numerical analysis and experimental testing of such phenomena. Additionally, I have also explored topics related to tunneling, mining, and geophysical measurements on earth dam.
