Matteo Convertino is an Associate Professor in Ecosystem Intelligence and Design at Tsinghua SIGS. He received his PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering Sciences in 2010 from the University of Padova, Italy. He was an Assistant Professor in Ecosystem Health at the University of Minnesota Twin-Cities, and an Associate Professor in Bio-Environmental Big-Data Science and Engineering at Hokkaido University, Japan. He is widely known for his contribution to systemic risk analysis and strategic design for ecosystems, complex network-based indicators and predictions, multiscale modeling and optimal portfolio controls, and global sensitivity and uncertainty analysis. He is one of the leaders in the emerging field of nature-positive ecosystem design, anchored into ecosystems' ecohydrological structures, particularly considering climate risks as opportunities. Dr. Convertino has published over 100 papers, including book chapters and technical reports, and is widely engaged in science communication efforts and research applications, from engineering projects to policy.
