Biography

Angelica Tarpanelli was born in Assisi, Italy, in 1981. She received her M.S. degree in Civil Engineering with excellence from the University of Perugia in Italy in April 2006. In September 2006 she received a Scholarship and successively a Research Fellowship to carry out research at the Research Institute of Geo-Hydrological Protection (IRPI) of the National Research Council (CNR) in Perugia under the project titled “Hydrological Monitoring of Extreme Events”. Since September 2012 she has been a Researcher at CNR-IRPI. In January 2014 she received her PhD in Hydraulic Engineering at University of Perugia.
