Dr. Giuseppe Oliveto is Associate Professor
of Hydraulic Engineering at the School of Engineering of University of Basilicata (Italy).
He received the National Scientific Habilitation as Full Professor in 2020. Since 1992 he has
been carrying out theoretical and experimental studies encompassing: evolution
and patterns of river networks, fluvial
hydraulics, sediment transport, bridge hydraulics, and urban drainage
hydraulics. He is author
of more than 100 papers in scientific journals and conference proceedings. He
currently is Associate Editor of: Journal of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering (ASCE); Water Journal
(MDPI), Frontiers in Water, and Advances in Civil Engineering (Hindawi). He has been Leading
Guest Editor of the Special
Collection “Sediment
Transport in
Water-Resources Engineering” for Journal of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering (ASCE) and the Special
Issues “Bridge Hydraulics: Current State of the Knowledge
and Perspectives” and “Sediment Transport
at Bridges and River Training
Structures” for Water
Journal (MDPI). Giuseppe Oliveto was recognized as: "ASCE Outstanding Reviewer" by Journal
of Hydraulic Engineering (ASCE) in 2011; "ASCE Outstanding Reviewer" by Journal
of Irrigation and Drainage
Engineering (ASCE) in 2018 and 2019; "MDPI-Water Outstanding Reviewer"
by Water Journal (MDPI) in
2018, 2019, 2022, and 2024. In 2024, Giuseppe Oliveto was recognized “2024 Best Associate
Editor” by Environmental & Water Resources
Institute (EWRI)-ASCE. He has been awarded the Robert Alfred
Carr Prize by the Council
of the Institution of Civil
Engineers (ICE)-London (UK) for the paper "Temporal scour evolution at non-uniform bridge piers" published in the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers-Water Management, Volume 170, October 2017.
