معرفی
Anna Palla serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Civil, Chemical, and Environmental Engineering (DICCA) within the Polytechnic School at the University of Genoa. Her academic focus centers on sustainable water management systems and climate-resilient infrastructure development.
Her research spans
- Sustainable urban drainage systems
- Hydrological risk modeling
- Green infrastructure performance under climate change
- Participatory approaches for flood resilience
- Climate adaptation in Mediterranean urban contexts
Recent publications (2024-2025) demonstrate consistent focus on integrating hydrological engineering with community-based planning, featuring methodological advances in green roof simulation, flood risk mapping, and evapotranspiration modeling. Key trends include transdisciplinary collaboration and practical implementation of sustainable drainage solutions in vulnerable coastal cities.
Professor Palla maintains active student engagement through flexible office hours via email or Teams appointments. Her teaching portfolio includes graduate-level courses in Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems, Applied Hydrology, and Hydraulic Infrastructures across Civil and Building Engineering programs.
She operates within the CEAR-01/B research group specializing in Hydraulic and Maritime Constructions and Hydrology, conducting field-based studies on urban water systems with strong regional stakeholder involvement.
