About

Tommaso Caloiero graduated in Civil Engineer (specialization in Hydraulic) from the University of Calabria. He received a Second level Master Degree in Mathematical Modelling of Hydrogeological Disaster from the same University and a Ph.D. in Hydraulic Engineering from the Politecnico of Milan.
He is Senior Researcher at the National Research Council of Italy (CNR) – Institute of Geosciences (GEO).
He received the National Scientific Qualification pursuant to art. 16 of Law 240/2010 for the functions of Full Professor (from 09/06/2023 to 09/06/2035) and Associate Professor (from 28/07/2017 to 28/07/2029) for the Scientific Discipline 08/A01 - Hydraulics, hydrology, hydraulic and marine constructions. Moreover, he received the National Scientific Qualification for the functions of Full Professor (from 10/06/2026 to 10/06/2038) for the Scientific Discipline 04/A04 - Geophysics.
Since April 2018, he has been a Member of the Scientific Board of the PhD in Geology, Engineering and Science of Sustainable Earth and Energy Transition (GESET) (past PhD in Sciences and Environmental Engineering, Construction and Energy - SIACE) at the University of Calabria. Moreover, for the same PhD, since 2019 he is responsible and teacher for the PhD Course “Climate Change Analysis”.
Featured on the Stanford University’s list of the World’s Top 2% Scientists in 2021 and 2022 (single-year), 2023 (single-year and career-long), 2024 (single-year and career-long) and 2025 (single-year and career-long).
