Ilaria Butera

Ilaria Butera is a Tenured Associate Professor at the Polytechnic University of Turin, affiliated with the Department of Environmental, Land, and Infrastructure Engineering (DIATI) and the FULL Interdepartmental Center - Future Urban Legacy Lab. She specializes in Hydrology, focusing on Rainwater Harvesting, Groundwater Flow, and Geostatistical Analysis.

Research Interests: Her work bridges Green Water in Cities, Mini-Micro Hydro Systems, and Water and Soil Pollution, aligned with SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities). Key areas include Climate Impact on Precipitation Extremes, Orographic Effects on Rainfall, and Urban Hydro Technologies.

Recent Publications demonstrate trends in Green Infrastructure Performance, Temporal Rainfall Variability, and Complex Terrain Hydrology. She has led projects like TURNING POINT (Urban Hydro Technologies) and GEOSTATISTIC ANALYSIS OF GROUNDWATER MONITORING at regional scales.

Teaching: She instructs PhD courses in Geostatistics for Environmental Variables and Master's courses such as Green Water for Sustainable Buildings and Environmental Spatial Analysis across multiple engineering disciplines.
