SUMMARY:Nonlinear dynamics and vibration suppression of conceptual airfoil models under random loads
DESCRIPTION:Mercoledì 28 Maggio si terrà un seminario presso l’aula Grandori (Edificio 4) dalle ore 11:00 dal titolo “Nonlinear dynamics and vibration suppression of conceptual airfoil models under random loads“. \nIl seminario sarà tenuto dal Prof. Yong Xu\, Northwestern Polytechnical University\, Xi’an (China). \nAbstract \nAn aircraft in practice undergoes complex uncertain loads like turbulence\, crosswind\, pressure fluctuations\, etc.\, that will have a substantial impact on its flight safety. It is of extreme significance to explore the complex nonlinear dynamics and vibration control for a conceptual airfoil model with random loads. The coupling interaction between structure nonlinearities and stochasticities can lead to some difficulties on the airfoil models\, including the modelling\, response solving\, and vibration suppression. This talk will review our developments towards nonlinear dynamics and vibration suppression\, especially for the stochastic dynamics\, early warning\, and data-driven problems\, of the conceptual two-dimensional airfoil models. All the findings would be helpful in ensuring the flight safety and enhancing the strength and reliability of airfoil structure operating at complex flight conditions. Besides\, several potential directions that are worth further exploring are also highlighted. This is a joint work with Dr. Qi Liu (Institute of Science Tokyo\, Japan)\, Prof. Yongge Li (Northwestern Polytechnical University\, China)\, Dr. Jinzhong Ma (Shanxi University\, China)\, Xiaolong Wang (Shaanxi Normal University\, China)\, Dr. Weili Guo (Northwestern Polytechnical University\, China)\, Prof. Jürgen Kurths (Humboldt University and PIK\, Germany)\, Prof. Hiroya Nakao (Institute of Science Tokyo\, Japan)\, and Prof. Stefano Lenci (Polytechnic University of Marche\, Italy).

SUMMARY:Harnessing the Dynamics of Reconfigurable Metastructures –  Embodying Programmability and Mechano-Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:Venerdì 23 Maggio si terrà un seminario presso l’aula Grandori (Edificio 4) dalle ore 15:00 dal titolo “Harnessing the Dynamics of Reconfigurable Metastructures – Embodying Programmability and Mechano-Intelligence”. \nIl seminario sarà tenuto dal Prof. Kon-Well Wang\, A. Galip Ulsoy Distinguished University Professor of Engineering and Stephen P. Timoshenko Professor of Mechanical Engineering University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\, MI\, USA. \nSarà anche possibile seguire il seminario da remoto tramite il seguente link: https://politecnicomilano.webex.com/meet/alberto.corigliano \nAbstract \nIn recent years\, the concept of reconfigurable matter developed based on nature-inspired modular architectures has been explored to create advanced engineering systems. For example\, inspired by the observation that some of skeletal muscle’s intriguing macroscale functionalities result from the assembly of nanoscale cross-bridge constituents with metastability\, the idea of synthesizing metastructures from the integration of mechanical metastable modules has been pursued. In another example\, inspired by the physics behind the plant nastic movements and the rich designs of origami folding\, a class of metastructures is created building on the innovation of fluidic-origami modular elements. Overall\, the modules are designed to be reconfigurable in their shape\, mechanical properties\, and stability features\, so to produce synergistic and intriguing dynamic functionalities at the system level\, such as programmable phononic bandgap control and nontraditional wave steering.  More recently\, with the rapid advances in high-performance intelligent systems\, we are witnessing a prominent demand for the next generation of mechanical matter to have much more built-in intelligence and autonomy. An emerging direction is to pioneer and harness the metastructures’ high dimensionality\, multiple stability\, and nonlinearity for mechano-intelligence via physical computing.  That is\, we aim to embody computing power and functional intelligence\, such as perception\, learning\, memorizing\, decision-making and execution\, concurrently and directly in the mechanical domain\, advancing from conventional systems that solely rely on add-on digital computer to achieve intelligence. This presentation will highlight some of these advancements in harnessing reconfigurable matter for structural dynamics tailoring\, from adaptive wave and vibration controls to self-learning-self-tuning intelligence. \nSpeaker’s bio \nDr. Kon-Well Wang is the A.

SUMMARY:PhDTalks | Numerical Methods for Fluid-Structure Interaction Problems Involving Lightweight Structures
DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 20 Maggio nell’aula Fassò (Edificio 4A)\, dalle 17:15 alle 18:30 CET. \nPhDTalks è una serie di seminari e discussioni tra dottorandi. Gli eventi hanno lo scopo di fornire un luogo dove creare un network tra dottorandi ed entrare in contatto con i molti progetti sviluppati nel nostro dipartimento. \nLo speaker Daniele Di Cristofaro condurrà un seminario dal titolo “Numerical Methods for Fluid-Structure Interaction Problems Involving Lightweight Structures”.  \nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link. \nAbstract \nProper modelling of Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) phenomena involving lightweight\, deformable structures is essential for understanding the complex dynamics in various engineering applications. In this context\, the Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) Navier-Stokes equations are widely used to track the fluid-structure interface properly. However\, mesh distortion remains a significant challenge\, particularly when large deformations occur. This distortion can result in poor resolution of the fluid-structure interface\, which negatively impacts the accuracy of aerodynamic force predictions and structural responses. This research introduces a novel mesh manipulation algorithm designed to reduce mesh distortion\, thereby enhancing the accuracy of FSI simulations. The method is validated through several benchmark cases and applied to real-world problems\, including dragonfly flight\, sail deformation and hydrofoil\, demonstrating its robustness and effectiveness. \nSpeaker’s bio \n\n\nDaniele holds an MSc in Mathematical Engineering from Politecnico di Milano in 2022. He is currently a PhD candidate in Structural\, Seismic\, and Geotechnical Engineering (38th cycle) at Politecnico di Milano. His research focuses on advanced Fluid-Structure Interaction methods and multiphase techniques within the Finite Element framework. In particular\, he is developing novel algorithms to address Finite Element mesh distortion and submerged lightweight structures.  \nIn his free time\, Daniele enjoys reading\, swimming\, and travelling around the world.

SUMMARY:Recent advances in the Particle Finite Element Method for fluid-structure interactions and multi-physics problems
DESCRIPTION:Mercoledì 26 Marzo si terrà un seminario presso l’aula Grandori (Edificio 4) dalle ore 11:00 dal titolo “Recent advances in the Particle Finite Element Method for fluid-structure interactions and multi-physics problems“. \nIl seminario sarà tenuto dal Prof. Jean-Philippe Ponthot\, Professore presso l’Liège University. \nAbstract \nParticle Finite Element Method (PFEM) is a still rather young discretization method that seeks to merge the advantages of the classical FEM with those of modern particle-based methods\, such as SPH. To this end\, PFEM is designed as a Lagrangian method that combines computations over one time step using FEM with a fast remeshing algorithm\, thereby avoiding mesh distortions consequent to very large deformations\, such as those encountered in fluid flow with free surfaces. The method is thus quite flexible and can be applied to both solid and fluid material behavior. \nPFEM has proven to be a very versatile method that not only allows tracking free evolving boundaries but also take into account thermo-mechanical coupling and thus tackle more complex multi-physics problems. For instance\, thanks to its Lagrangian character and its ability to automatically track evolving free surfaces and interfaces\, PFEM allows handling phase change due to solidification\, melting and vaporization\, as well as capillary and Marangoni effects from surface tension. These physical ingredients are highly valuable for simulating melt pool dynamics\, for example\, in the context of additive manufacturing. \nMultiphysics problems can lead to models that are inherently incompatible or highly difficult to combine within the same numerical implementation. In such a case\, it is convenient to split the physical models and solve them separately using dedicated software. Although this approach has been used mostly to address fluid-structure interaction problems in PFEM\, it has also been used to couple thermo-mechanical models\, for example\, in the simulation of welding processes. \nThis work gathers recent advances in the PFEM with special attention to the incorporation of multi-physics models and their applications. In addition\, numerical examples of the PFEM will illustrate fluid-structure interaction problems including contact between different solid parts and plastic deformation of some components of the system as well as biomechanical applications.

SUMMARY:PhDTalks | Uncertainty quantification and spatial biases assessment in precipitation forecasts: a methodology for real-time flood forecasting applications
DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 18 marzo nell’aula Fassò (Edificio 4A)\, dalle 17:15 alle 18:30 CET. \nPhDTalks è una serie di seminari e discussioni tra dottorandi. Gli eventi hanno lo scopo di fornire un luogo dove creare un network tra dottorandi ed entrare in contatto con i molti progetti sviluppati nel nostro dipartimento. \nLo speaker Enrico Gambini condurrà un seminario dal titolo “Uncertainty quantification and spatial biases assessment in precipitation forecasts: a methodology for real-time flood forecasting applications”.  \nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link. \nAbstract\nAccurate meteorological forecasts are essential for mitigating flood impacts\, but uncertainty in convective precipitation positioning may significantly undermine flow predictions in small watersheds. A methodology is proposed to assess spatial biases in convection‐permitting model rainfall forecasts\, the procedure identifies preferential misplacement directions made by the meteorological model and incorporates this uncertainty into hydrological predictions. The approach was conducted on 64 significant convective rainfall events in the “hydraulic node of Milan” (Northern Italy) during 2013–2022. Quantitative precipitation forecasts from the MOLOCH (ISAC-CNR) meteorological model were compared with observed rainfall fields. Displacement errors were quantified using pattern matching\, revealing a consistent northeast bias. Kernel Density Estimation was then used to derive a bidimensional displacement probability density function\, this enables probabilistic forecast generation to quantify rainfall misplacement uncertainty effects on hydrological forecast. \nSpeaker’s bio \n\nEnrico holds a M.Sc in Environmental and Land Planning Engineering\, obtained at Politecnico di Milano in 2021. He is currently a PhD candidate (37-th cycle) in Environmental and Infrastructure Engineering\, in his PhD he is collaborating with the civil protection of Lombardy Region (CFMR) doing research on the enhancement of regional flood early warning system. His research is mainly focused on the use of machine learning algorithms for flood forecasting\, nowcasting and flood warning applications\, as well as uncertainty quantification of meteorological predictions. \nIn his spare time\, he enjoys playing chess (with poor results)\, hiking\, climbing and skiing.

SUMMARY:PhDTalks | Towards the realization of Submerged Floating Tunnels
DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 4 marzo nell’aula Fassò (Edificio 4A)\, dalle 17:15 alle 18:30 CET. \nPhDTalks è una serie di seminari e discussioni tra dottorandi. Gli eventi hanno lo scopo di fornire un luogo dove creare un network tra dottorandi ed entrare in contatto con i molti progetti sviluppati nel nostro dipartimento. \nLo speaker Stefano Corazza condurrà un seminario dal titolo “Towards the realization of Submerged Floating Tunnels”.  \nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link. \nAbstract\nSubmerged Floating Tunnels (SFTs) are underwater modular structures which are deemed to be a valuable option for crossing deep and long waterways\, such as sea straits\, fjords\, bays and alpine lakes. Compared to classical aerial bridges\, they are characterized by (1) lower construction costs per unit of length\, (2) reduced environmental impact due to a smaller land footprint\, and (3) the ability to operate in all weather conditions. However\, due to their inherent flexibility\, they are very prone to the effect of dynamic loads such as marine currents\, earthquakes\, traffic and hydrodynamic loadings.This talk will provide an overview of the most common structural typologies of SFTs\, highlighting key design challenges and issues related to the simulation of their dynamic behavior. The presentation will conclude with recent findings on both analytical and numerical modeling of the local dynamics of the mooring system. \nSpeaker’s bio \n\nStefano is a PhD Candidate in Structural\, Seismic and Geotechnical Engineering (38° cycle). He holds a Master of Science in Structural Engineering from Politecnico di Milano\, obtained in 2022\, and is currently enrolled in the third year of the PhD program. His research focuses on developing a multiscale approach to address the nonlinear dynamic behavior of slender offshore structural elements and to describe fatigue damage accumulation under hydrodynamic loading conditions\, by means of both numerical and analytical tools. \nIn his free time Stefano enjoys traveling\, hiking\, playing tennis and padel.

SUMMARY:PhDTalks | Simulating the effect of Nature-based Solutions as a mitigation tool for Urban Heat Islands
DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 18 febbraio nell’aula Fassò (Edificio 4A)\, dalle 17:15 alle 18:30 CET. \nPhDTalks è una serie di seminari e discussioni tra dottorandi. Gli eventi hanno lo scopo di fornire un luogo dove creare un network tra dottorandi ed entrare in contatto con i molti progetti sviluppati nel nostro dipartimento. \nLo speaker Angelly de Jesus Pugliese Viloria condurrà un seminario dal titolo “Simulating the effect of Nature-based Solutions as a mitigation tool for Urban Heat Islands”.  \nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link. \nAbstract \nMore than 3.3 billion people live in areas highly vulnerable to climate change\, facing threats to health\, infrastructure\, and economic stability. This research focuses on modeling and mapping the susceptibility towards climate change-related hazards using machine learning\, with a particular emphasis on the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect—an issue prevalent in densely built environments with limited vegetation.Using satellite and authoritative data\, including Landsat 8-derived land surface temperature and land cover information\, surface UHI was modeled in Milan. To explore mitigation strategies\, the study assesses the impact of Nature-Based Solutions (NbS)\, which have been shown to reduce both the frequency and intensity of UHIs. By simulating the strategic addition of vegetation\, the analysis re-evaluates UHI patterns to quantify the potential benefits of NbS in urban environments. \nSpeaker’s bio \nAngelly is a computer scientist from Universidad del Norte (Colombia) and a Geoinformatics Engineer from Politecnico di Milano (Italy). Her projects consisted of the development of a QGIS plugin for location privacy and the application of deep learning to classify deforestation leveraging open satellite imagery\, respectively. She is currently pursuing a PhD in Environmental Engineering focused on Geomatics. Her current research regards the application of artificial intelligence to produce the susceptibility models and maps of climate change related hazards in urban areas. Furthermore\, the models can be used to evaluate the impact on the susceptibility introduced by simulated nature based solutions.\nDuring her PhD studies\, she has been a consultant for the World Bank\, specifically developing geospatial applications currently focused on GeoAI as a service. \n\nIn her free time\, she enjoys doing exercise\, dancing\, connecting with nature\, and reading a good book\, mostly from Colombian authors.

SUMMARY:Auxeticity\, hierarchy and imperfections in mechanics of living matter
DESCRIPTION:Venerdì 14 Febbraio si terrà un seminario presso l’aula Grandori (Edificio 4) dalle ore 11:30 dal titolo “Auxeticity\,hierarchy and imperfections in mechanics of living matter “. \nIl seminario sarà tenuto dal Prof. Massimiliano Fraldi\, professor of Mechanics of Structures\, Nonlinear Mechanics and Biomechanics at the University of Napoli Federico II\, Italy. \nAbstract: \nMechanics of continua and structures is playing an indispensable role for deeply understanding how growth\, remodeling and morphogenesis in living matter do all interact with internal stresses and uid ow at the macro-scale to optimize selected tissues and organs functions. This coupling is often crucial to unveil complex underlying mechanisms originating from cascades of events occurring at lower scales. Cell-cell competitive dynamics incorporating chemomechanical feedback can be for instance projected at the continuum level and helpfully coupled with elasticity and mass balance equations in order to obtain faithful outcomes about growth and to predict cells fate as well. Through some selected paradigmatic examples of biological systems\, we show how auxeticity\, elastic instability\, microstructure hierarchy and even geometrical imperfections may all contribute to shed light on still unclear mechanobiological phenomena\, including tissue differentiation\, regeneration\, wound healing and cancer diseases. We also highlight the reciprocal benets of integrating mechanics and biology for envisioning new therapeutic strategies for precise medicine and designing new classes of bio-inspired\, self-repairing “active” composites. This is a joint work with contributions by A.R. Carotenuto\, A. Cutolo\, S.Palumbo\, and N.M. Pugno. \nSpeaker’s bio: \nMASSIMILIANO FRALDI (magna cum laude and PhD in Structural Engineering at University of Napoli Federico II\, post-doc and visiting researcher at Department of Mathematics\, Rutgers University\, and Department of Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering at City College of New York\, USA) is full professor of Mechanics of Structures\, Nonlinear Mechanics and Biomechanics at the University of Napoli Federico II\, Italy\, where he is head of the Interdisciplinary Research Centre for Structural Composites (SCIC) and the Laboratory of Integrated Mechanics and Imaging for Testing and Simulation of bio-systems (LIMITS)\, delegate of the Rector for the Infrastructure for Research in Oncology\, member of the Task Force on Quantitative and Computational Biology and the Doctoral College of Structural and Geotechnical Engineering and Seismic Risk at the Department of Structures for Engineering and Architecture (DIST).

SUMMARY:The Impact of Extreme Floods on Infrastucture: Is it just water?
DESCRIPTION:Giovedì 23 Gennaio si terrà un seminario presso l’aula Grandori (Edificio 4) dalle ore 11:30 dal titolo “The Impact of Extreme Floods on Infrastucture: Is it just water?“. \nIl seminario sarà tenuto dal Dr. Davide Wüthrich\, Assistant Professor\, Delft University of Technology\, the Netherlands. \nInoltre il seminario potrà essere seguito tramite Webex al seguente link. \nAbstract: \nAll recent studies consistently predict a future characterised by more frequent and extreme natural hazards. The catastrophic floods of summer 2021 in Belgium\, Germany\, and the Netherlands clearly demonstrated the devastating consequences of such events\, underscoring the urgent need for effective measures to ensure safety\, mitigate damage and reduce reconstruction costs. This seminar begins with first-hand observations collected during field surveys of recent extreme events\, emphasizing their complex multiphase nature\, including large volumes of floating debris. Recognizing that these phenomena remain poorly understood\, the seminar will then explore ongoing research on the accumulation of large floating debris at bridges and other critical water conveyance structures. This shows the need to combine innovative research\, high-quality education and interdisciplinary collaboration to meet the challenges that current and future infrastructure are facing. \nSpeaker’s bio: \nDavide Wüthrich is a civil engineer specialized in hydraulic structures\, currently Assistant Professor at Delft University of Technology\, Netherlands\, and Honorary Lecturer at the University of Queensland\, Australia. He earned his Bachelor degree at Politecnico di Torino (Italy) followed by a Master and PhD at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL\, Switzerland)\, focusing on the impact of extreme events on structures. Building upon previous experience as Post-Doc in Japan and Australia\, his current research at TU Delft focuses on the impact of extreme events on infrastructure\, including post-flood forensic surveys\, laboratory experiments\, and prototype measurements.

Gli eventi hanno lo scopo di fornire un luogo dove creare un network tra dottorandi ed entrare in contatto con i molti progetti sviluppati nel nostro dipartimento. \nLo speaker Samuele Abagnato condurrà un seminario dal titolo “Material Flow Analysis and Life Cycle Assessment in Policy Making for Waste Management: the Case Study of Textile Waste in Lombardy”.  \nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link. \nAbstract \nProper planning of waste management systems for textiles is crucial to reduce the environmental impacts of textile sector. To support policy-making in Lombardy region\, first\, a Material Flow Analysis (MFA) of the region’s textile waste streams was conducted\, and municipal textile waste generation data of the Lombardy’s municipalities were analysed. Then\, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology is applied to the textile waste management system of Lombardy region to quantify its environmental impacts and assess whether increased circularity leads to reduced impacts. The feasibility of applying LCA to textile waste management was explored in scientific literature\, and the current state of recycling technologies is discussed. LCA was applied to the management of post-consumer textile waste in Lombardy\, and some preliminary results are shown. \nSpeaker’s bio \nSamuele obtained the master’s degree in environmental engineering at the University of Bologna in 2021\, with a thesis about the application of life cycle assessment to carbon capture from flue gas. Then he spent one year as research fellow focusing on flue gas treatments for waste to energy plants. In 2022 he started his phd journey at Politecnico di Milano (38th cycle). His research project\, in collaboration with Regione Lombardia\, is focused on textile waste management in the context of Lombardy region\, with the aim to develop analyses to support policy making and public policies at the regional scale about waste management. \nIn his free time\, he loves playing (and watching) basketball\, he is interested in culture and politics\, and in a lot of other things that we do not have the time to list here.

SUMMARY:Locally resonant metamaterials – towards automated design and mass manufacturing
DESCRIPTION:Venerdì 10 Gennaio si terrà un seminario presso l’aula Fassò (Edificio 4A) dalle ore 14:30 dal titolo “Locally resonant metamaterials – towards automated design and mass manufacturing“. \nIl seminario sarà tenuto dal Dott. Claus Claeys (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven). \nInoltre il seminario potrà essere seguito tramite Webex al seguente link. \nAbstract: \nMetamaterials (MMs) have emerged as promising noise and vibration solutions which enable reconciling the often conflicting requirements of low mass and volume and high noise and vibration attenuation. Their superior performance arises from stop bands\, being frequency ranges of strong noise and vibration reduction\, which result from the addition or inclusion of locally resonant structures on or into a host structure on a sub-wavelength scale. Although their potential has been widely evidenced in a variety of (academic) demonstrators the manufacturing of MMs is far from mature while their performance is mostly limited to narrowband noise and vibration reduction. In view of merging the need for mass-manufacturable integrated MM solutions with the opportunity of broadening MM performance by embedding smart inclusions\, the mass- production process injection moulding comes to the fore: a wide range of polymer products is currently already injection moulded\, while the technology is particularly suitable to produce hybrid parts with embedded inclusions in a highly automated fashion through the process of insert moulding. Additionally\, designs are commonly obtained on a trial-and-error basis or with expert knowledge. To automate this design process and obtain high performant metamaterial designs\, optimization routines are important enablers. Topology optimization has shown its potential to achieve designs in many mechanical applications which outperform the state-of-the-art in terms of performance such as stiffness or strength\, but also for noise insulation. Optimized structures are discussed in this presentation\, together with first steps towards accounting for actual manufacturing constraints. \n

SUMMARY:PhDTalks | A downscaling method based on wet spell and analysis of future climate variation under CMIP6 Scenarios in Upper Yangtze River Basin\, China
DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 19 novembre nell’aula Grandori (Edificio 4)\, dalle 17:15 alle 18:30 CET. \nPhDTalks è una serie di seminari e discussioni tra dottorandi.

As the largest basin\, and the primary source of hydropower in China\, the impact of climate change on the Upper Yangtze river Basin (UYRB) is particularly crucial. We downscaled GCMs’ outputs of precipitation (wet/dry spells considered to reduce GCMS wet days overestimation) and temperature projections (2024-2100)\, under four typical Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs)\, and we pursued a trend analysis on these potential future climate projections. We found significant trends of precipitation in all months\, unless for August\, across all socioeconomic pathways. This could lead to future heatwaves\, and droughts. Additionally\, for SSP370 and SSP585\, there were no significant trends of precipitation in December\, but there were significant upward trends in temperature. This may result in drier winters than now\, increased potential evapotranspiration\, and reduced surface (snow) water storage\, impacting water resources availability. Consecutive dry/wet days at station\, and basin scale show spatial-temporal heterogeneity\, but generally wet spells are longer\, and dry spells shorten moving from S-E to N-W. In addition\, we carried out a comprehensive evaluation of past (1980-2014) monthly\, and annual climate output of chosen models. \nSpeaker’s bio \nMy name is Xu Han\, my hometown is in Handan\, northern China\, not far from Beijing. I came to Italy to study in 2021. My research is mainly related to meteorology and hydrology\, specifically climate change\, model evaluation\, downscaling methods\, extreme weather\, etc. \nI like traveling\, music\, movies\, running
