A. Ricci received a Double Ph.D in Structural and Geothecnical Engineering & Wind Engineering from the University of Genoa (Italy) and the Eindhoven University of Technology (the Netherlands) in 2017. His doctoral research focused on the modeling of atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) winds in urban environments, using a combination of experimental and numerical approaches. From 2017 to 2022, he held postdoctoral positions at Eindhoven University of Technology and at KU Leuven (Belgium). He is currently an Associate Professor of Fluid Dynamics and Wind Engineering within the Climate Change Impact Studies for Risk Management (CARISMA) research unit at the University School for Advanced Studies (IUSS), Italy. He also serves as a Guest Researcher at Eindhoven University of Technology. His research interests include the modeling of ABL winds, thunderstorm downbursts, and tornadic winds in complex environments, as well as the assessment of their effects on structures. He is also actively involved in research on aerosols and air pollution in both outdoor and indoor environments. His work spans multiple spatial and temporal scales and integrates Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations, field measurements, and wind-tunnel experiments. A. Ricci supervises several Ph.D students, as well as undergraduate and graduate students. He is a member of the Steering Committee of the Italian Association for Wind Engineering (ANIV) and member of the Non-Synoptic Winds working group of the International Association for Wind Engineering (IAWE). He serves as Assistant Editor for Building and Environment (Elsevier), and is an Editor for Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing (Tech Science Press). He teaches Introduction to Wind Engineering and CFD for the Built Environment to PhD students, Statistical and probabilistic methods for engineering applications and Wind Science and Engineering: measurement, modeling and simulation to undergraduate and graduate students.
