  • Policy and Practice Interface on Climate Risk Reduction and Management for Building Climate Resilient Communities
    Deepak KC After graduating from the University of Tokyo, JAPAN , I began my professional career with United Nations Development Programme. I worked almost 16 years on designing and implementation projects/ programme on Climate Change Adaptation & Disaster Risk Reduction (Climate Risk Management) that includes multi-hazards risks assessment & particularly hydro-meteorological ...
  • Lidia Loiotine : Geomechanical characterization of rock masses for stability analysis
    Lidia Loiotine Starting date : 2018 in Italy, moved to Lausanne in 2020 My first name is Lidia and I come from Bari (southern Italy).  I obtained my bachelor’s and master’s degree in Geological Sciences at University of Bari. In 2018 I started a PhD programme in Geosciences in the form ...
  • Li Fei: Effect of weathering on rock wall retreat and landslide stability
    Li Fei My name is Li Fei. I obtained my bachelor’s and master’s degree in Geological Engineering in China. I started my Ph.D. project under the guidance of Pro. Michel Jaboyedoff at Risk Group of the University of Lausanne from October 2018.As weathering including physical and chemical weathering has been widely ...
  • Emmanuel Nduwayezu: Rainfall variability modelling and mapping and global risk evaluation in Rwanda.
    Emmanuel Nduwayezu Directors: Prof. Michel Jaboyedoff, Prof. Mikhail Kanevski. Research project summary description The high population densities of Rwanda can be explained by climatic conditions, especially rainfall conditions. Precipitations have been generally quite good, and have contributed to define an agricultural calendar with two harvest seasons in a civil year. With the exacerbation of extreme ...
  • Dario Carrea : Understanding landslide deformation from LiDAR data
    Dario Carrea Co-supervisors : Prof. Michel Jaboyedoff, Dr. Antonio Abellán, Dr. Marc-Henri Derron Real landslides are complex bodies affected by spatio-temporal changes: while some areas are affected by progressive deformation, others areas are typically affected by sudden changes as rockfalls. Use of LiDAR techniques to monitor these complex phenomena is now well ...
  • Chunwei Sun : Processes under water-rock chemical interaction
    Chunwei Sun will stay for 2 years in the Risk Group at UNIL. Chunwei is a joint-PhD student of the Department of Geological Engineering of Southwest Jiaotong University in Chengdu, China. His research involves geochemical weathering in rock mass deterioration and the oxidation-acid erosion mechanism of black shale especially. During ...
  • Charlotte Wolff : Risk analyses of Cima del Simano mountain, Ticino, Switzerland
    Charlotte Wolff After working for one year with a company developping tools for UAV photogrammetry in Lausanne as QA software engineer, I decided to tackle a new challenge by starting a PhD with the RISK group analyses of ISTE, Unil Lausanne. With a background in both geology and geomatic (Sfm, ...
