Giulia Torsello

Giulia Torsello is a Research Fellow at the Department of Structural, Building and Geotechnical Engineering (DISEG), Politecnico di Torino, where she also serves as an external lecturer and teaching assistant. She is actively involved in the Master's Degree Course in Building Engineering, contributing to the course Geotechnical Design for Building Resilience across multiple academic years (2021/22 to 2024/25).

Her research focuses on geotechnical engineering and rock mechanics, with particular emphasis on rockfall risk assessment, landslide analysis, and the effects of environmental factors like freeze-thaw cycles on rock durability. She applies geospatial tools such as QGIS to develop practical methods for preliminary hazard mapping and risk evaluation.

The recent publications highlight a consistent trend in applying computational and GIS-based approaches to geohazards, with a strong focus on real-world case studies in the Italian Alps. Her work bridges field observations with modeling, aiming to improve resilience in mountainous regions.
