Davide Canone

Davide Canone serves as Associate Professor at the Interuniversity Department of Territorial Sciences, Planning and Policies (DIST) of the Polytechnic University of Turin, where he concurrently holds an external lecturer position. His academic engagement spans doctoral education in Urban and Regional Development (2014/15–2024/25 cycles) and master's instruction in Landscape Architecture, focusing on hydrology modules within risk mitigation and climate adaptation curricula.

His research centers on hydrological processes and sustainable water management, with specialization in urban hydrology, soil conservation, and climate-resilient planning. This manifests through field-scale monitoring of runoff and erosion, irrigation optimization for agriculture, and analysis of water sources in mountain ecosystems—integrating advanced techniques like W-band radar and cosmic ray sensors.

Recent publications reveal a strong applied focus on practical environmental solutions, particularly for agricultural and steep-slope terrains. His work bridges theoretical hydrology with commercial applications, emphasizing real-world implementation through projects like Wappfruit for irrigation efficiency.

Canone actively advises doctoral candidates in Urban and Regional Development while securing commercial research contracts, including biomass plant technical reports, historic garden conservation (Casa Lajolo), and the FruttADA agricultural project. As a LABFLUX (DIST) laboratory member, he contributes to interdisciplinary environmental research within the department's framework.
