Gennaro Sequino is a Civil Engineer at the REMHI (Regional Models and Geo-Hydrological Impacts) Division of the Institute for Climate Resilience (ICR) within the CMCC Foundation.
He holds a Master’s degree with honours in Civil Engineering from the University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli, where he developed interdisciplinary expertise across structural engineering, hydraulics, and geotechnics. Currently, he is pursuing a PhD in Geotechnical Engineering at the same University, focusing his research on the hydromechanical effects of vegetation on slope stability.
Since 2023, he has been actively involved in CMCC scientific activities, with a primary focus on the design and evaluation of early warning systems for landslide risk management. His expertise extends to hydrological modeling and flood-related building damage assessment, specifically through the development of vulnerability and fragility curves. Through his research, he addresses the complexities of geo-hydrological risks, integrating geotechnical principles with climate-impact analysis. Moreover, his research is increasingly focused on climate-based design processes, aiming to integrate climate data directly into the design of civil engineering structures and infrastructures.
