Research Vision My research vision is based on three main words:

Observation, Innovation, and Mathematical description.

First of all “Observation”. I firmly believe that in order to obtain advancements in the

knowledge of phenomena under analysis measurements are necessary. The

importance of measurements was clear since Leonardo da Vinci, who wrote:

“No human enquiry is worthy of the name of science unless

it comes through mathematical proofs.

And if you say that the sciences, which begin and end in the mind possess truth, this

is not to be conceded, but denied for many reasons.

First because in such mental discourses there enters no experiment, without

which nothing by itself reaches certitude.”

“Observation” must be combined with “Innovation”, i.e. the observation of phenomena

must be operated also with innovative ways and new instrumentations (both ground and

remote sensors) for the collection of data.

New measurements must support the development of new “mathematical‐statistical

representations” of phenomena. In statistical hydrology, I have introduced in 2003 the

concept of “Copula” for the multivariate modeling of dependent random variables and

dependent extremes. This concept resulted extremely powerful and versatile for the

multivariate description of hydrologic events (rain, snowfall, drought, floods). For this

I wrote (with G. Salvadori, R. Rosso and N. T. Kottegoda) a scientific book titled

“Extremes in nature: An approach using Copulas”, Springer, 2007.

Finally, I strongly believe in the added value of multidisciplinary studies, where the

phenomenon is tackled from different angles and perspectives. This led me to

collaborate with statisticians, physicists, ecologists, and climatologists, and to make

some studies at the boundary between Hydrology, Ecology, Meteorology and recently

to collaborate with Social scientists.

Present Teaching Activities - 2009-present - Hydrology Course for undergraduate students of Environmental

Engineering, and graduate students of Civil Engineering (in italian, 1st semester, 7

hours/week, 8 credits). The average number of students is about 200. The mean

evaluation of the students is 2.8/4.

- 2017-present - Hydraulic Protection of the Territory for graduate students of

Environmental Engineering, and Civil Engineering (in italian, 2nd semester, 8

hours/week, 10 credits). I share this course with prof. Giovanni Ravazzani. The average

number of students is about 60.

- 2016-present - Hydro-Meteorological Monitoring Networks for graduate

students of Environmental Engineering (in italian, 1st semester, 7 hours/week, 8

credits). I share this course with prof. Antonio Ghezzi. The average number of students

is about 20.

- 2010-present - Extremes in Nature for Ph.D. students (in english, 1st semester,

intensive course, 40 hours in a week, 5 credits). I share this course with prof. Gianfausto

Salvadori and prof. Fabrizio Durante. The average number of students is about 10.

Past Teaching Activities

-Physical Hydrology (graduate), 2000-2002

-Applied Hydrology (undergraduate): Spring 2002 -Water

Resources Engineering (graduate): Fall 2003-2008.

-Statistical Hydrology (undergraduate): Fall 2002-2005. -Physical and statistical

modeling of hydrological processes (graduate), 2009-2012.

Teaching Philosophy Teaching is one of the most fulfilling aspects of my professional activity. Initially, I

developed a deep-rooted affinity for teaching as Ph.D.-student at Politecnico di Milano

where I helped to develop courses in physical and statistical hydrology. Successively,

as assistant, and associate professor at Politecnico di Milano, I continued to improve

my teaching techniques (at graduate and under-graduate levels) giving courses in

physical Hydrology, statistical Hydrology, Hydraulic Engineering Works,

Hydrometeorology, Hydraulic Protection of the Territory.

While my teaching objectives vary, depending upon the course level and contents, my

teaching philosophy is based on the following three criteria:

• Formulate questions rather than give answers, stimulating the students to

think critically;

• Generality rather than particularity, giving to the students tools rather than

results;

• Observe the phenomenon. It is fundamental to understand how the nature

works.

The result of this teaching philosophy should mold students with “open mind” approach

towards the analysis and solution of the considered problems.

In designing course format and evaluation requirements, I stress student engagement

and success. For example, at the undergraduate level, class format combines lessons at

the blackboard where the problem formulation is described and discussed, with

Curriculum Vitae et Studiorum - Carlo De Michele 5/30

PowerPoint presentations where some practical examples are explained and

commented. Generally, I provide my own notes to the students.

Tutoring students in high-level training paths Alta Scuola Politecnica (ASP) is a joint educational initiative of Politecnico di Milano

and Politecnico di Torino, restricted to 150 young and exceptionally talented students,

selected solely on the basis of merit, among the applicants to the Master of Science in

Engineering, Architecture and Design at the two universities.

The ASP educational programme consists of two elements: Courses (on issues, models

and methods of innovation, tackled with a strong interdisciplinary perspective), and

Multidisciplinary projects, (in which students may practice the process of

envisioning, framing planning and implementing innovation).

Within this initiative, I have coordinated the following multidisciplinary projects:

Automation and control engineering), Gianluca Savaia (Polimi, Automation

and Control Engineering), Enrica Soria (Polito, Mathematical Engineering).

The project was judged excellent by the ASP Committee, which evaluated the

project. The project was presented at the European Geosciences Union

General Assembly 2016, Vienna | Austria | 17–22 April 2016.

FIELD CAMPAINS – [8] I have designed, coordinated, and realized the following field campaigns:

2007 – 01 April. Measurements of snow depth (sticks) and snow density

(horizontal samplers) over Mallero basin, within AWARE EU project. People

involved about 20 [Details are given in the paper J28].

2014 – 11 April. Measurements of snow volume with fixed-wing drones over

an area of 0.3 km2 over a small plateau located in western Val Grosina Valley

(close to Lake Malghera), Lombardy region, northern Italy. In addition,

measurements of snow depth (with snow sticks) and snow density (with

horizontal samplers) were realized. [Details are given in J61].

2015 – 21 & 30 September. Measurements of the volume of flushed sediments

within Fusino reservoir (managed by A2A), in Val Grosina, Lombardia region,

Northern Italy. Here we made two surveys with a drone (hexacopter) before and

after the flushing of sediments. People involved about 12 [Details are given in

J69].

2015 – 08-10 October. Measurements of Belvedere glacier: areal extension and

volume variations. Belvedere glacier is located above Macugnaga, in Valle

Anzasca, Piedmont region, north-western Italy. Here, fixed-wing drones and

topographic equipment were used over an area of about 3 km2 within the

DREAM-ASP project. People involved about 15. [The results were presented

at EGU2016. See

https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2016/EGU2016-8795.pdf]

2016 – 14-15 April. Measurements of the snow volume over Belvedere glacier,

with the specific focus of a small area of about 6700 m2 close to Rifugio

Zamboni. The aim of this field campaign was to make a comparison of different

techniques to measure snow volume. Here we used a drone (hexacopter), a

multistation (MS60) and manual measurements with snow sticks. The activity

was realized within the DREAM-ASP project. People involved about 15.

[Details are given in J88].

2016 – 06-07 October. Here we repeated the field campaign made in October

2015. We evaluated the melted volume in the period October 2015- October

2016. The activity was realized within the DREAM2-ASP project. People

involved about 15.

2017 – 31 March. Here we repeated the field campaign made in April 2016. The

activity was realized within the DREAM2-ASP project. People involved about

15. [Details are given in J88].

Curriculum Vitae et Studiorum - Carlo De Michele 22/30

2017 04-06 October. Here we repeated the field campaign made in Oct. 2015 &

Oct. 2016. In addition, lagrangian measurements of stream flow discharge in

Anza river were made using sodium chloride (NaCl) tracer, and geo-electrical

surveys in order to have measurements of ice thickness. The activity was

realized within the DREAM3-ASP project. People involved about 15.
