Michele Calvello

Michele Calvello is a Full Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Salerno, Italy. His academic position focuses on geotechnical engineering with specialization in landslide risk assessment and disaster risk reduction. Based at the Fisciano Campus, Building L3, First Floor, Room 017, Professor Calvello maintains regular office hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM by appointment.

Professor Calvello's research interests center around developing advanced methodologies for landslide prediction and early warning systems. His work integrates hydro-meteorological thresholds, soil saturation analysis, and deep learning techniques to improve territorial-scale landslide forecasting. He has made significant contributions to the field of disaster risk reduction through stakeholder engagement and co-creation of solutions.

• Research Areas:
• Landslide Risk Assessment and Early Warning Systems
• Hydro-meteorological Thresholds for Natural Hazards
• Disaster Risk Reduction and Management
• Soil Saturation and Rainfall Analysis
• Deep Learning Applications in Geohazards

His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on improving landslide prediction methodologies through innovative combinations of rainfall severity, soil saturation indices, and machine learning approaches. Professor Calvello's work has practical applications in operational territorial landslide early warning systems, particularly in vulnerable regions like the Campania area of southern Italy.

Professor Calvello maintains active research collaborations with international scholars and institutions, as evidenced by his co-authorship on recent publications with researchers from various countries. His ORCID identifier is 0000-0002-3899-1722, and he can be contacted via email at mcalvello@unisa.it for academic inquiries and collaboration opportunities.
