Lorenzo Giovannini is assistant professor at the Department of Civil, Environmental and Mechanical Engineering of the University of Trento (Italy), where he received his PhD in Environmental Engineering with the thesis “Urban scale phenomena and boundary layer processes in mountain valleys”. His research activity focuses mainly on the analysis of atmospheric processes typical of mountainous regions and on the evaluation of microclimatic alterations induced by urban areas, by means of both experimental campaigns and numerical meteorological models. He is involved in different research projects, covering several aspects of applied meteorology, such as pollutant dispersion, support to agricultural activities, estimation of renewable energy sources and optimization of building energy consumption. On these topics he is author of several articles published in international peer-reviewed scientific journals.
