The research activity mainly regards:


1) Use of Soil Moisture at coarse and high resolution for Rainfall estimation;
2) Use of Soil Moisture at coarse and high resolution for Irrigation estimation;
3) Downscaling of precipitation data;
4) Use of high resolution remote sensing data for flood prediction;
5) Estimation of River Discharge from remote sensing data.

Paolo Filippucci received the M.S. degree in mechanical engineering with excellence, from the University of Perugia (Perugia), Italy, in 2015. From August  to December 2016, he carried out an Internship with the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) within the project “Enhancing the Benefits of Remote Sensing Data and Flood Hazard Model in Index-based Flood Insurance (IBFI) in South Asia, under Water Availability, Risk and Resilience (WR)”.

In January 2017 he received a Scholarship to carry research at the Research Institute of Geo-Hydrological Protection (IRPI) of the National Research Council (CNR) of Perugia in the area: "Earth Sciences". In November 2018 he start a doctorate course in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Florence, Pisa and Perugia Universities. Then, in Janaury 2019, he received a Research Fellowship under the topic: " Use of remote sensing data for hydrological applications: monitoring of soil moisture and estimation of river discharge", at the IRPI.In June 2022, he received the degree of Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of Florence (UNIFI) and the degree of Doctor of Technical Sciences from the Technical University of Vienna (TUWIEN) with a thesis entitled: "High-resolution remote sensing for rainfall and river discharge estimation." From July 2023 he is Junior Researcher at the CNR-IRPI under the topic: “development of hydrological applications (floods, droughts) at regional and global scales through the use of satellite observations and advanced modeling”, under the project Open Earth Monitor Cyberinsfrastrcuture, OEMC.
