About

Mariacrocetta Sambito holds her PhD in territorial infrastructures at the "Kore" University of Enna (Italy) since 2020 by discussing a thesis on the optimal positioning of water quality sensors in urban drainage networks, with the creation of a mathematical model in C language which embed a bayesian probabilistic approach in a sewer network model including uncertainty assessment and recursive implementation of measurement database. She also spent a short period at Dublin City University (Ireland) during which she was able to carry out her research and establish international relations. In 2023 she was second place winner of Water best paper award by MDPI and in 2018 she was the winner of the award for the best paper written and presented by a PhD student at the International Conference on Hydroinformatics. She has been organizing member of the 40th IAHR World Congress (Wien, 2023) and of 13th Hydroinformatics International Conference (Palermo, 2018). Furthermore, she is a member of IAHR and IWA and in 2021 she was invited as a speaker at the first online forum on "Digital Transformation of Urban Water Systems" organized by IAHR. Currently she is Associate editor of JRBM (International Journal of River Basin Management) and also, she is a reviewer board of Resources Journal and Water Journal (MDPI). Her current academic position is Assistant Professor at the University of Enna “Kore” (Italy), and her research focus is on implementation of numerical models of water infiltration in sewers and in general water quality and urban drainage systems.
