Personal Details:
Nicoletta is a hydrodynamic modeler, coastal engineer, and geomorphologist. In 2016, she has been prized by the Italian National Academy of Science and at the presence of the Head of State for her work on coastal environments. Her area of expertise includes the study, and modelling of sediment transport and morphological changes at a local to regional scale, and the study of nature-based solutions and coastal wetlands as storm defenses. Other areas of expertise include the development of stochastic and probabilistic models for the morphological evolution of coastal areas.
