Maurizio Righetti is a Full Professor at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano within the Faculty of Agricultural, Environmental and Food Sciences. His research integrates hydraulic engineering, climate change adaptation, and sustainable water management, with a focus on Alpine environments. Research Interests: Righetti's work spans: Hydraulic systems optimization (e.g., sediment flushing, water distribution networks) Climate model bias correction for hydrological forecasting Renewable energy integration in water infrastructure Machine learning applications in ecohydraulics and resource management Impacts of hydropeaking and climate change on river ecosystems Recent Publications: His 15 most recent articles (2024-2025) demonstrate strong trends in: sediment dynamics modeling, AI-driven leak detection in water networks, climate data processing, and hybrid energy-water systems. Over 60% leverage machine learning, reflecting a shift toward data-centric environmental solutions. Engagement: He co-founded AIAQUA (unibz's water management spin-off) and leads public initiatives like "Action For Climate" to address climate-water linkages in Alpine regions.
