Biography
Dr. Grilli‘s research interests include ocean renewable energy assessment and coastal hazard assessment. Of particular interest in renewable energy assessment is the siting optimization of offshore wind farms, including environmental and societal constraints. Current interest in coastal hazard assessment is on the use of numerical models and statistics to assess the coastal impact of extreme events (tsunami, extreme storms).
