Ilaria PROSDOCIMI

Ilaria Prosdocimi is an Associate Professor in the Department of Environmental Sciences, Computer Science and Statistics at Ca' Foscari University of Venice. She holds a PhD in Statistics from KU Leuven and has expertise in extreme value statistics and generalized additive models applied to environmental and hydrological problems. Her teaching spans courses in Data Analytics, Predictive Analysis, and Statistical Models across undergraduate and graduate programs, including the Science and Management of Climate Change and Environmental Sciences.

Her research focuses on extreme value theory in hydrology, with a particular interest in flood frequency analysis, rainfall extremes, and climate change impacts. She has contributed to projects like RISE (Rethinking and Innovating Statistics for Extremes), funded by MIUR, and serves on editorial boards for journals like Hydrological Sciences Journal and Advances in Water Resources.

Prosdocimi’s recent work analyzes air quality policies in Venice, trends in hydrological extremes across Europe, and the statistical attribution of environmental changes. She collaborates internationally, including with UK institutions, and has published extensively on methodologies for coherent estimation of rainfall and flood risks.
