Venue: Seminar Hall, First floor, Civil Department
Title of proposed Talk: Research activity on Ocean and Coastal Engineering
at University of Bologna.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Short Abstract:
***************
The recent activity on coastal and ocean engineering will be presented
mainly focused on wave structures interaction, floating body modeling
applied to the design of energy production from the sea; marine pollution.
All the applications will regard mostly the Mediterranean Sea conditions.


Short biodata of the speaker:
****************************
Dr. Renata Archetti holds a PhD in Hydraulic Engineering at Politecnico di
Milano. She has performed research in the field of Environmental and
Coastal Hydraulics for over 20 years gaining extensive experimental and
numerical experience. Her fields of interest are: coastal hydrodynamics
and morphodynamics, pollution in coastal areas, innovative technology for
the sea monitoring, design of marine structure, risk analysis of extreme
events, assessment of resources for renewable energy (wind waves mini
hydro) and concept design of wave energy converter. She is professor of
Ocean and Coastal Engineering for the International Master Program in
Offshore Engineering at the University of Bologna and of Hydraulics for
Civil Engineering.
