Ilaria Ferrando is Fixed-Term Assistant Professor in Geomatics at the Department of Civil, Chemical and Environmental Engineering (DICCA), University of Genoa (Italy). She received her Ph.D. in Civil, Chemical and Environmental Engineering (curriculum Fluid Dynamics and Environmental Engineering) in March 2017, with the thesis entitled “GNSS contribution to monitor severe rainfalls: an innovative procedure for wide and orographically complex area with existing infrastructures”. Her research activity mainly develops in Geomatics field of knowledge, with particular focus on GNSS Meteorology. Other research interests are related to 3D geomatic surveying/monitoring (regarding design, planning, execution, processing, data analysis, quality control, and restitution) with integrated geomatic techniques for both built and natural (terrestrial and marine) environments, and geospatial data processing and analysis in Geographical Information System (GIS) environment.
