Macchiarulo, V.

Profile

Dr. Valentina Macchiarulo is a postdoctoral researcher at the Geo-Engineering section of TU Delft, working on the use of remote sensing in civil engineering applications.

Valentina completed a PhD at the University of Bath, UK, developing new methods using satellite remote-sensing data to monitor and assess building and infrastructure conditions on a regional scale, graduating in 2021. Previously, she obtained BSc (2013) and MSc (2016) degrees in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Rome “La Sapienza”, Italy.

 

Research

Valentina’s research focuses on contributing toward a more resilient built environment through the use of remote sensing data. Her work involves the use of satellite monitoring data to evaluate the performance of buildings and infrastructure assets in response to ageing deterioration, natural (i.e., earthquakes) and man-induced (i.e., tunnelling and underground excavations) hazards.

Her research interests include remote sensing, structural monitoring, risk and damage assessment, settlement-induced damage, earthquake reconnaissance, big data analysis, computational modelling, and geospatial analysis.
