Roberto Bosio

Roberto Bosio serves as an external lecturer at the Department of Environmental, Land and Infrastructure Engineering (D.IATI) at Polytechnic University of Turin. He has maintained a consistent teaching role since the 2019/20 academic year as Course Collaborator for the Experimental Laboratory for Testing and Measurement in Civil Engineering course across multiple degree programs, and additionally teaches Hydraulics for both Civil Engineering and Environmental and Land Management Engineering programs in the 2024/25 academic year.

His research specialization centers on hydraulic engineering with particular expertise in rainfall simulation systems for civil engineering applications. Dr. Bosio's work bridges theoretical hydraulics with practical infrastructure testing, focusing on the development of laboratory equipment capable of accurately replicating natural rainfall conditions from light drizzle to intense storms. His research contributes significantly to improving testing methodologies for civil infrastructure resilience.

Dr. Bosio's scholarly contributions include a 2024 doctoral thesis on rain simulation technology and a 2023 publication in the journal WATER detailing a comprehensive laboratory rainfall simulator. These works demonstrate his technical expertise in experimental design and validation of hydraulic systems, with applications spanning infrastructure testing, hydrological modeling, and water management systems.

His teaching responsibilities encompass both undergraduate and graduate-level courses, with emphasis on providing students with hands-on experience in experimental testing and measurement techniques essential for modern civil engineering practice. Through his Course Collaborator role, he has contributed to the educational development of numerous civil engineering students over multiple academic cycles.
