This is Giovanni Ravazzani’s website.
I am an assistant professor within the Politecnico di Milano, in Italy, working in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
My main research topics are centered around hydrological modelling, and more precisely:
- Flood forecasting
- Irrigation management
- Climate change
- Groundwater modelling
- River-groundwater interaction
- Flood risk
- Sediment transport
