I reduced water losses by 24 L/s (~700,000 m³/year) across a 7,600km distribution network serving 96 municipalities in Italy and raised the underlying data completeness from 67% to 98.45% to get there.
I'm a civil and hydraulic engineer with 5+ years of experience in water and wastewater distribution systems, including 2+ years in Italy. My work sits at the intersection of hydraulic modelling, field monitoring, and leakage reduction: building and calibrating demand-driven and pressure-driven network models in InfoWorks WS Pro, MIKE+, and WaterGEMS, designing pressure and flow monitoring campaigns (CPIS, step-testing), and translating field and SCADA data into DMA restructuring, valve/PRV placement, and pressure-management strategies that actually cut losses.
Before this, I built and validated HEC-HMS rainfall-runoff models for flood forecasting in the Brembo River Basin (800+ km²), reaching 97% agreement with observed peak discharge, work that fed into an early-warning system for roughly 50,000 residents and was later published in the Journal of Flood Risk Management.
I hold an M.Sc. in Civil Engineering for Mitigation of Risks from Natural Hazards from the University of Pavia and IUSS, and work regularly across InfoWorks, MIKE+, WaterGEMS, EPANET, HEC-RAS, QGIS, ArcGIS, Python, and SQL.
I'm always glad to connect with people working on water distribution efficiency, hydraulic modelling, or flood risk, whether that's comparing notes on leakage management approaches or talking through a specific network problem.
