Nicola Fabbian is a Postdoctoral Researcher in Geotechnical Engineering at the Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering of the University of Padova, Italy. He obtained his PhD in Geotechnical Engineering with research focused on developing innovative methodologies for the risk assessment of river embankments in mountainous environments. His scientific activities address the safety of flood protection infrastructures, seepage and internal erosion processes in soils, geotechnical monitoring, and the application of advanced technologies based on distributed fiber optic sensing, geophysical investigations, and photogrammetric techniques. He collaborates with public authorities and infrastructure managers on monitoring systems and risk management strategies for hydraulic and geotechnical assets. He is the author of several international scientific publications and teaches courses in soil mechanics, geotechnical engineering, and geotechnical monitoring, contributing to the dissemination of knowledge in both academic and professional contexts.
