Alberto Alberello

Alberto Alberello is a Research Fellow at the University of East Anglia's School of Engineering, Mathematics and Physics, specializing in Fluids & Structures. His work focuses on wave-ice interactions, polar oceanography, and nonlinear wave dynamics.

• Doctor of Science, Swinburne University of Technology (2017)
• Master of Engineering, Politecnico di Milano (2012)
• Bachelor of Engineering, Politecnico di Milano (2010)

Alberello's research explores the complex interactions between ocean waves and sea ice, particularly in Antarctic and Arctic environments. He investigates wave propagation in ice-covered waters, wave-induced ice breakup, and the development of numerical models like WIce-FOAM for simulating heterogeneous sea ice systems. His work contributes to understanding climate dynamics and improving maritime safety in polar regions.

His recent publications demonstrate expertise in wave mechanics, with a focus on parameter-free Schrödinger systems, ICESat-2 altimetry validation, and nonlinear wave evolution under heterogeneous damping. Alberello's work spans both theoretical modeling and experimental validation through wave tank studies and field measurements.

Alberello actively collaborates internationally, with recent projects involving institutions such as the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences, London Mathematical Society, and the Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation. He has presented at conferences in New Zealand and Australia and conducted fieldwork in the Southern Ocean and Okhotsk Sea.
