Ilaria Ferrando

Ilaria Ferrando serves as a Researcher in the Department of Civil, Chemical and Environmental Engineering (DICCA) at the University of Genoa. She teaches core geomatics courses including Elements of Geomatics 3 for Building and Territorial Technologies, Geomatics for Monitoring for Civil Engineering Master's students, and Operational GIS Tools for Civil and Environmental Engineering undergraduates.

Her research spans interdisciplinary geospatial methodologies with emphasis on coastal zone management, landslide risk assessment, and drone infrastructure systems. She pioneers integrated approaches combining photogrammetry, underwater positioning, and topographic surveying to address complex environmental engineering challenges, particularly in coastal regions and transport infrastructure networks.

Analysis of her 2024-2025 publications reveals a strong focus on computational solutions for large-scale monitoring, including Python-based statistical tools for landslide susceptibility and novel drone planning frameworks for passenger transport systems. Her work consistently bridges geomatics with civil engineering applications through collaborative projects.
