I am Enrico Lucca, I was born in 1992 in Turin. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Environmental Engineering from Politecnico di Torino and a Double Master Degree (110/110 cum laude) in the same field from Politecnico di Torino and KTH – Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden. As part of my Master’s Thesis project, I visited the University of Dar Es Salaam as a field researcher to investigate the occurrence and fate of Arsenic in drinking water resources in Northern Tanzania. After my graduation, I acquired 4 years of work experience specializing on the management of water resources and flood risk. As a civil engineer at JBA Consulting, UK, I conducted hydrological estimations of river flows, 1D-2D hydraulic modelling, flood risk mapping and engineering design of flood management schemes. In 2020, I joined the Food and Agriculture Organization in Lebanon working on the monitoring, allocation, and management of water resources for agriculture, from the farm to the basin scale. My passion for water science and my experiences acquired abroad motivate me to pursue a career dedicated to achieving a sustainable management of natural resources through research and cooperation
My research interests focus on the water-energy-food Nexus, climate change adaptation, hydrology, and agricultural water management. More specifically, my PhD research investigates the contribution of the Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystem Nexus to achieve sustainable development and its operationalization in the Mediterranean region. In particular, the aim of the research is to conceptualize a framework for the integration of Ecosystems in the Water-Energy-Food Nexus and to test it in a Mediterranean catchment basin.
