Flood risk modelling - 2026_IPD_DICA_4

The research activity focuses on flood hazard and risk modelling to support risk management, both under ordinary conditions and during emergencies. More specifically, the researcher will develop hydraulic models, as well as models for estimating flood damage to different exposed elements, across several case studies. The aim is to integrate modelling results into decision-making processes for flood risk management.During the initial phase of the activity, the researcher will be involved in the DROP project (co-designed Decision support system and solutions for flood Resilience with and fOr People), funded by Fondazione Cariplo, with the aim of supporting the project team in defining risk management strategies for the study area.The researcher will also contribute to DICA’s teaching activities in the fields of Hydraulics, Fluid Mechanics, and Flood Risk.
