Raniero Beber

Raniero Beber is a researcher in the 3D Optical Metrology Unit (3DOM) at Fondazione Bruno Kessler. After having spent one year and a half as a visiting researcher in the USA and UK at the Centrifuge facility in Boulder and at the Schofield Center in Cambridge respectively, he graduated in Environmental Engineering at the University of Trento in 2017. Soon after he started a PhD in Civil Engineering at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow (UK) studying the susceptibility to erosion of clayey soils looking at the interaction between clay particles and their sliding mechanisms. In 2021 he moved to the CNR in Padua (Italy) to study bigger Landslides via the use of Earth Observation data in particular from Sentinel-1. Since September 2022 he has been a researcher in Geospatial Data Analytics and GeoStatistics for the Environment in FBK. His main focus is on the fusion and integration of different sensors for environmental monitoring purposes. In the USAGE project amongst other use cases, weather stations, IoT portable devices and Satellite data are integrated to identify the hottest areas in the Pilot cities. In the SEC4TD project the testing of a low-cost IoT device to monitor tailing dams safety is underway.
