Michele Larcher serves as a Researcher in Hydraulics (ICAR/01) at the University of Trento's Department of Civil, Environmental and Mechanical Engineering since January 20, 2005, teaching courses including Elements of Hydraulics, Fluid Mechanics (in German at University of Bolzano), and Irrigation Systems across multiple engineering programs.
His academic foundation includes:
- Scientific High School Diploma, Merano (1991; 60/60)
- Bachelor's Degree in Environmental and Land Engineering, University of Trento (1998; 110/110 cum laude with special career mention)
- PhD in Hydraulic Engineering, University of Padua (2002)
- Research Grant, University of Trento (2003-2005)
His research centers on granular flow dynamics, debris/mud flow mechanics, and river restoration within fluid-soil interaction systems. As a core contributor to Trento's CUDAM center, he develops hydrogeological risk mitigation solutions applied in post-disaster contexts including Sarno (1998) and Vargas (1999) catastrophes, bridging theoretical fluid mechanics with practical environmental engineering.
Key recognitions include:
- Oscar Mondadori publication award (1993)
- Research Award at Japan's Public Works Research Institute (2001)
- Isaac Newton Institute invitation (2003)
- Cornell University appointment (2007)
- IAHR and EGU Fellowships
He has supervised one doctoral thesis and over 40 master's theses at Trento plus international collaborations, while leading professional training initiatives through CODEMM, CISM, and SUPSI on hydrological risk management. Current roles include Doctoral College membership for Civil/Environmental Engineering and ongoing fluvial engineering instruction.
