The curriculum "Harbour Engineering" of the international Master’s in Civil Engineering at the University of Bologna is a programme that aims at educating professionals with the necessary in-depth scientific and technical knowledge in the field of coastal and marine engineering, by specifically focusing on resilience of marine structures and environment under climate change. The programme provides students with firm technical bases while nurturing decision-making and leadership potential.

Climate Change Adaptation is concentrating on strategies and actions to mitigate the impact of climate change on society, with a particular focus on water. The course will be taught during 48 hours of frontal teaching, including lectures given by the teacher and exercises developed by collaborative work by students and the teacher. The purpose of the course is to provide an overview of modern techniques for estimating design variables for water resources systems in the presence of human impact.

"Science of Climate Change and Climate Actions" is a soft skill course at the University of Bologna. It will be taught in English for a total of 24 hours (3 credits) in the second semester, by me and other expert colleagues. Details are given here. Access is given to a maximum number of 200 students. The study plan is as follows:

The course on Harbour Engineering focuses on design of harbors and coast management. The part of course that I am teaching counts 32 hours of lectures. The teacher will make extensive use of interactivity, with the options illustrated below.

How students or early stage researchers can pursue the best for their career is a very popular question. There are several web sites that provide suggestions (see for instance here, here and here). They are often written for the general audience and therefore may lack specificity.

The course on Coastal Engineering is included in the study plan of the master degree program in Off-shore Engineering at the University of Bologna. The part of course that I am teaching counts 12 hours of lectures. The teacher will make extensive use of interactivity, with the options illustrated below. Lectures include about 4 hours dedicated to solving exercises by using the personal computer, by collaborative work by students and teacher. Students will be kindly asked to bring their own personal computer to solve the exercises.

Since August 15, 2022, my website has been mirrored to a new platform. The new version of the website is mobile friendly and is much more versatile.
