Prof. Diego Vicinanza received a Ph.D. degree in hydraulic engineering in 1997 from the University of Naples Federico II, Napoli, Italy. He was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the Second University of Naples from 1998 to 2014, an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering, at Aalborg University from 2012 to 2013, and an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering, Second University of Naples from 2014 to 2021. He has been a Full Professor at the Department of Engineering, Università della Campania “Luigi Vanvitelli” from 1921 to date. His research interests are mainly energy and environment. The energy part is linked to the development of innovative technologies for the production of marine renewable energy and their integration with traditional breakwaters. The environmental part is focused on solutions/strategies for the mitigation of coastal risk from flooding and erosion as a function of climate change. Research on innovative solutions for coastal defenses with low environmental impact, environmental restoration, and bathing represent the topics currently ongoing.
