SUMMARY:Accounting for spatial dependence in flood hazard assessment at basin scale
DESCRIPTION:The next appointment in the PhDTalks seminar series will take place on Wednesday\, April 15th\, 2026\, in Grandori Room (Building 4)\, from 12:00 to 13:00 CET. \nPhDTalks is a series of seminars and discussions among PhD candidates. The events aim to provide a space for networking among doctoral students and for engaging with the many projects developed within our department. \nThe speaker Ana Maria Rotaru will deliver a seminar entitled “Accounting for spatial dependence in flood hazard assessment at basin scale” \nAt the end of the event\, a light refreshment will be offered\, sponsored by the department. \nThe seminar will also be accessible online at the following link. \nAbstract\nFlood hazard assessments at basin scale often rely on simplified representations of extreme events\, assuming that the same level of severity occurs across the entire catchment. This assumption rarely holds in reality\, and the resulting flood maps correspond to longer return period than intended.\nThis work explicitly characterizes the spatial dependence of flood-generating extremes in producing hazard maps within the Lambro River basin. A conditional extreme value framework is used to model the dependence structure of precipitation and generate a large ensemble of scenarios\, each sharing the same joint return period at the basin scale but with varying return periods across sub-catchments. The rainfall scenarios drive 2D hydrodynamic simulations\, producing a set of flood maps that can be synthesized into probabilistic hazard maps.\nThe findings demonstrate that accounting for spatial dependence returns a richer depiction of the flood hazard compared to the current practice. \nSpeaker’s Bio\nAna Maria is a third-year PhD candidate in Environmental and Infrastructure Engineering at DICA. She is currently spending her visiting period at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile in Santiago. She holds a Master’s degree in Civil Engineering for Risk Mitigation from Politecnico di Milano. \nHer PhD focuses on 2D hydrodynamic modelling of riverine floods\, with a particular interest in boundary condition definition. Alongside this\, she has been involved in a range of related topics\, including flood risk assessment in data-scarce regions\, detention basin modelling\, citizen science data validation\, and text mining approaches for extracting natural hazard information from unconventional sources. \nWhen she’s not modelling floods on a computer\, she prefers to be outside: hiking\, cycling\, or exploring new places.

SUMMARY:Beneath the Frescoes of Pompeii: the Use of GPR to Identify and Image Roman Masonry Arrangements
DESCRIPTION:The next appointment in the PhDTalks seminar series will take place on Wednesday\, April 15th\, 2026\, in Grandori Room (Building 4)\, from 12:00 to 13:00 CET. \nPhDTalks is a series of seminars and discussions among PhD candidates. The events aim to provide a space for networking among doctoral students and for engaging with the many projects developed within our department. \nThe speaker Sara Donzelli will deliver a seminar entitled “Beneath the Frescoes of Pompeii: the Use of GPR to Identify and Image Roman Masonry Arrangements” \nAt the end of the event\, a light refreshment will be offered\, sponsored by the department. \nThe seminar will also be accessible online at the following link. \nAbstract\nThe structural evaluation of walls in Pompeii requires accurate knowledge of construction techniques hidden by plaster and frescoes\, which prevent direct observation and preclude invasive investigation. To address this challenge\, a non-destructive methodology based on high-frequency Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is proposed. A dedicated experimental setup enables surveys directly on decorated surfaces\, improving signal quality while ensuring full compatibility with conservation requirements. A 2D approach supports the identification and mapping of masonry typologies\, while 3D acquisition allows the imaging of surface masonry arrangements. The integration of these techniques provides a robust framework to support structural assessment and conservation management at Pompeii. \nSpeaker’s Bio\nSara holds an MSc in Structural Engineering from Politecnico di Milano\, obtained in 2023. She is currently a PhD candidate in Structural\, Seismic and Geotechnical Engineering (39th cycle).\nShe is developing a joint experimental and numerical approach for the assessment of buildings in the Archaeological Park of Pompeii. Currently\, her research focuses on the use of Ground Penetrating Radar as a non-invasive methodology to characterise Roman masonry arrangements hidden by decorated surfaces.\nIn her free time\, she enjoys reading\, listening to all genres of music and theatre.

SUMMARY:Responsabilità. Dove finisce la responsabilità dell'ingegnere per la sua ricerca?
DESCRIPTION:Prende il via il ciclo di seminari “Guardare oltre: L’ingegneria come risorsa sociale”\, un’iniziativa del Dipartimento di Ingegneria Civile e Ambientale nata in co-progettazione con il gruppo META\, con l’obiettivo di arricchire il lavoro di ricerca guardando all’ingegneria non soltanto come insieme di competenze e soluzioni tecniche\, ma anche come risorsa dalle forti implicazioni sociali. \nIl primo incontro\, dal titolo “Responsabilità. Dove finisce la responsabilità dell’ingegnere per la sua ricerca?”\, si terrà mercoledì 15 aprile dalle ore 17:00 alle 18:30 in Aula Grandori. \nL’evento è aperto a tutta la comunità del dipartimento ed è pensato in particolare per chi svolge attività di ricerca in ingegneria\, con l’obiettivo di favorire la costruzione di un linguaggio condiviso tra le diverse componenti del dipartimento.
