Settore scientifico-disciplinare: Strade, Ferrovie e Aeroporti CEAR-03/A
Nicholas got the PhD title with Summa cum Laude on June 22, 2022, at the "International Doctorate in Civil and Environmental Engineering", jointly organized by Università degli studi di Firenze (IT), Università di Pisa (IT), and Technische Universität Braunschweig (DE).
He has been awarded with the additional title of Doctor Europaeus.
He works at the Department of Civil and Industrial Engineering (University of Pisa, Italy).
He collaborates with the Institut für Geodäsie und Photogrammetrie (Technische Universität Braunschweig, Germany).
He is currently a contract lecturer of Transport Terminals (ICAR/04) for the MSc course "Engineering of Civil Infrastructures and Environment", School of Engineering of the University of Pisa, Italy.
He supports the learning of students in Theory and Design of Road Infrastructures (ICAR/04) for the MSc course "Engineering of Civil Infrastructures and Environment", School of Engineering of the University of Pisa.
He authored and co-authored peer-reviewed scientific papers in the field of road monitoring, road maintenance, and road safety. From his first publication (in June 2019), he published 8 scientific papers and received 106 citations on SCOPUS and 144 on Google Scholar (June 2022).
He was a speaker at international conferences (TRB 101st Annual Meeting 2022, SPIE Remote Sensing 2021, EGU2020, ISPRS Congress 2020).
He is a peer reviewer for (1) the Standing Committee on Occupant Protection (ACS40) for the Transportation Research Board Annual Meeting, (2) SAGE Journals Transportation Research Record, (3) Elsevier Safety Science, (4) MDPI Remote Sensing, (5) Sustainability, (6) ISPRS Journal of Geo-Information, (7) Applied Sciences, (8) Infrastructures, and (9) SURF2022.
He is a member of the Scientific Association of Transport Infrastructures (ASIT).
Interests and skills:
1) geometric and functional design of infrastructures: road layouts, road intersections (right-of-way and signalized intersections, roundabouts, interchanges), parking lots.
2) road safety analyses and quantification of the accident mitigation following road interventions, development of accident prediction models, and Level of Service assessment.
3) integration of road surveys: Pavement Management Systems (PMS), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), high-performance non-destructive monitoring of roads with Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR), Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD), Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), Laser Profiler.
4) data processing: econometric and statistical count models, Machine and Deep Learning algorithms.
