Ilaria Gnecco

Ilaria Gnecco is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil, Chemical, and Environmental Engineering (DICCA) at the University of Genoa, teaching Hydraulic Infrastructures, Hydraulic Works for Territorial Defense, and Hydrology courses for Building and Civil Engineering programs in the 2025-2026 academic year.

Her research centers on hydraulic engineering and hydrology with emphasis on pluvial flooding, green roof hydrologic performance under climate change, and urban flood risk management. She investigates model sensitivity to input data and system descriptions, and integrates opportunistic sensors for real-time flood monitoring in urban environments.

Recent publications (2024-2025) demonstrate consistent focus on pluvial flooding modeling advancements, green infrastructure for climate adaptation, and data-driven flood risk assessment. Her work bridges theoretical modeling with practical urban water management applications, particularly examining rainfall data integration and infrastructure resilience.

While specific student advising details and research grants are not explicitly documented, her active research output and teaching load indicate ongoing mentorship of graduate students and potential project leadership.

She is affiliated with the CEAR-01/B research group specializing in Hydraulic and maritime constructions and hydrology, and serves on the Department Board and Quality Presidium of DICCA for academic governance and quality assurance.
