Nappo, N.

Profile

I am Postdoctoral Researcher at the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences of TU Delft and Junior Consultant – Researcher at Deltares.

Previously, I received my PhD in Environmental sciences at the University of Insubria (Italy) using remote sensing techniques for monitoring the impacts of subsidence and landslides on constructions. As researcher, I joined the University of Twente and Sapienza University of Rome. Furthermore, I am Civil Environmental Engineer with MSc in Building Engineering and Architecture.

Research

Currently, I am involved in the Living on Soft Soil (LOSS) Project investigating the subsidence affecting The Netherlands. My task is to identify potential measures to mitigate the effects of subsidence on constructions. Other research interests regard road damage assessment due to landslides and vulnerability analysis of constructions subjected to ground or slope instabilities.
