THE STAFF OF CORILA


Director

Pierpaolo Campostrini

Born in Venice, 1960.
Degree in Electrical engineering, followed by a diploma in Plasma engineering and controlled thermo-nuclear fusion, both at the University of Padua.
From 1985 to 1998 CNR researcher in the RFX project, an important experiment on fusion carried out in Padua by an association between University, ENEA and CNR and supported by EURATOM with an investment of over 150 billion lire.
His diverse roles in the project included electromagnetic planning and following various important contracts of the execution of components by leading European companies. He is now in charge of the Calculation System of the project, the acquisition and processing of the data.
The RFX project is, as is all research on fusion, integrated at an international level and this allows frequent meetings and scientific exchanges, in particular with European and American laboratories with whom he has carried out successful experiments.
At the moment he is also teaching at the Universities of Padua and Udine.
He has published numerous works, mainly abroad.
From 1998-99 he worked for Thetis S.p.A, a Venetian company located in the Arsenale and was in charge of projects. He took part in the execution of the company’s technological projects in the area and coordinated European projects.
He has been the director of CORILA since January 2000..

Simona Dalla Riva

Born November 13, 1973 in Genoa. In 1998 she received her degree in Environmental Science at the University of Genoa, Italy with the experimental thesis “Development of a Specimen Bank for biomonitoring the quality of the Antarctic Environment”, and in 2002 she obtained her PhD degree in Polar Science at the University of Siena, Italy with the thesis “Transport and distribution of contaminants in the Antarctic Environment, using biomonitors” in the framework of the Antarctic National Research Programme. She collaborated with the University of Genoa doing research in the analytical environmental chemistry of the Antarctic coastal marine ecosystem, attending four Antarctic Expeditions, and in 2004 she worked for six months in New Zealand at the, widening her knowledge in the environmental marine science, researching on heavy metal speciation, sediment contamination, and marine ecosystem biomonitoring. From July 2005 she works at CORILA. She supported the CORILA projects on speciation and flow of pollutants, groundwater flows in the lagoon system, meteo-oceanographic conditions, coastal zone water quality, Interreg and European Projects.

Enrico Rinaldi

Born January 18, 1960 in Udine. Received his degree in architecture in 1992 at the University Institute of Architecture, Venice under Prof. M. Lena. Qualified as architect in 1993. In 1996 and 1999 he won the competitions for collaborators for the didactics of IUAV in the field of architectonic composition. He has been a member of the exam commission for the same institute since 1996. Between 1990 and 1996 he collaborated on two of the CNR’s projects “Project Building with a purpose” on the subject of “knowledge and restoration of public building heritage” and on “methodologies and auto-restoration in historic centres” (led by Prof. E. Dal Zio Palutan – University of Padua, N. Sinopoli – IUAV), in particular in the planning of computer systems. In 1994 he began working with Prof. F. Indovina, A. Cecchini, A. Bianchin (Department DAEST-IUAV) on the development of urban and revenue models with methodologies applied by autonomous groups. This was also applied to the diffusion of pollutants in the Venice Lagoon. In 1999 he developed an experimental model of morphodynamics of the Venice Lagoon for Consorzio Venezia Nuova.
In the Research Programmes 2001-2003 and 2004-2006 he supports the research group of economic-urban development lines (1.1, 1.2, The redevelopment of brownfields), architectural lines (2.1, 2.2, 2.3, protection against water and conservation of architecture), environmental processes line (3.2, 3.7, Hydrodynamics and morphology). He also has the task of planning the web site for CORILA and of organising a GIS system for Venice and the Lagoon to support all CORILA’s activities.
