Donatella Termini, Ph.D., received her Ph.D. in Hydraulics and Fluvial Hydraulics in 1996. In June 1997 nominated scientist of Hydraulic and Hydraulic Applications. In 1997 research fellow at the Queens University - Kingston - Ontario (Canada). From 1998 to 2000 she was a post-doctoral researcher at DIIAA of Palermos University. From May 2001 to December 2004 she was an assistant professor. Since January 2005 Associate Professor and since 2013 she also qualified as Full Professor in Hydraulic Engineering - Palermos University (Italy). Leader or collaborator of national or EU research projects and Guest Editor of International Journals. In 2007 she had “Karl Emil Hilgard Hydraulic Prize”. Present research efforts include the investigation in fluvial hydraulics and eco-hydraulics (flow resistance, effect of vegetation, sediment transport, effects of bed roughness), prediction of river morphological evolution (meandering and braiding) both through experimental investigations and by the development of numerical simulation codes. More than 150 papers published in proceedings of national and international congresses and in international scientific journals
