Dr. Federico Maggi
Background: Frederico Maggi earned his MSc in Civil Engineering at the Polytechnique of Turin, Italy, where he studied the prediction and reconstruction of complex signals with non-linear techniques with application to hydrological processes. He obtained a PhD in Environmental Fluid Mechanics at the Delft University of Technology with an experimental, theoretical and numerical study of the processes of aggregation and breakup of fine cohesive suspended particles with application to sediment transport and deposition and coastal engineering. Later, he joined the Pratt School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Duke University, North Carolina, as Researcher Associate, where he developed mathematical models for biological clogging of unsaturated porous media with applications to geobiochemistry and ecohydrology.
Current position: Dr. Maggi is currently a Post-Doctoral Researcher at the Berkeley Water Center (BWC), a joint oraganization established from the Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of California, Berkeley, and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. His project at BWC is focused on mathematical and numerical modeling of surface and subsurface chemical transport with coupled biogeochemistry, and coupled land-surface and subsurface water and energy balance
Research Interests: Research interestes include water resources and quality in the ecohydrological context; transport/flocculation/deposition of cohesive sediment, surface and subsurface multimedia/multiphase flows; coupled water flow and biomass dynamics, population dynamics; carbon and nitrogen dynamics and cycles in biogeochemical modeling; and land-soil-vegetation interaction.
