Molini, Annalisa
Dr. Molini received her Master’s degree in environmental sciences (summa cum laudæ) from the University of Genova (Italy) with a Major in Physics of the Atmosphere, and her Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of Basilicata (Italy) with a major in Hydroclimatology. She is currently an Associate Professor in the River-Coastal Science and Engineering Department at Tulane University. Before joining Tulane University, she was an Associate Professor in the Civil Infrastructure and Environmental Engineering Department of Khalifa University in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, a Visiting Assistant Professor at the Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and a Research Associate at Duke University, in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. She also served as a data manager and analyst in the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Field Inter-comparison of Rainfall Intensity Gauges at the Italian Air-force Meteorological Center of Vigna di Valle, Rome, Italy. Her research focuses on the connections between the hydrological cycle, vegetation, and climate, embracing several related research topics, including stochastic models for ecohydrology, hydrometeorology, land/vegetation-atmosphere interactions, boundary layer meteorology, and the modeling of extreme hydrological and environmental processes such as severe droughts and flash-floods. Over the last ten years, she developed her research agenda at the interface between hydrology, physical climatology, ecohydrology, and sustainability sciences spanning different fields related to water resources availability, land degradation, and food/water security in a changing climate. She is an Editor for Hydrological Processes (Wiley), where she is responsible for handling submissions in ecohydrology, stochastic hydrology, and hydrometeorology, and an Associate Editor for Water and Wastewater Management (Frontiers in Environmental Science).
