ENZA DE LAURO | Curriculum

Enza De Lauro is a researcher (RTDa) at the Department of Information Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Applied Mathematics (DIEM), at the University of Salerno, where she conducts research in the field of solid Earth geophysics, atmosphere, and physical oceanography. In 2007, she obtained a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Salerno with excellent grades. In 2020, she achieved the National Scientific Qualification for Associate Professor in the competitive sector 04/A4 Geophysics, SSD GEO/10, and in 2019, she obtained the National Scientific Qualification for Associate Professor in the competitive sector 02/C1 Astronomy, Astrophysics, Earth and Planetary Physics, SSD FIS/06 (Article 16, paragraph 1, Law 240/10). She is a topic editor for Geosciences and an editor for Advances in Geosciences - ADGEO Special Volume: Title: Understanding Volcanic Processes through Geophysical and Volcanological Data Investigations. Some Case Studies from Italian Sites (EGU2019 GMPV5.11 session, COV10 S01.11 session). She has been a referee since 2009 for the following international scientific journals: Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth - Wiley; Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors - Elsevier; Environmental Earth Sciences - Springer; Ecosystem Health and Sustainability - ESA; Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science. She was the main convener for the session GMPV5.11 "Fluid-solid Interactions in Volcanic Processes over Different Time Scales: An Investigation through Geophysical and Volcanological Data" at the General Assembly of the European Geosciences Union (EGU) conference in Vienna, 7-12 April 2019. She has participated in several national and international research projects.

Her scientific activity, reflected in over 90 publications, including articles in national and international journals, monographs, volumes, and numerous presentations at national and international conferences, is focused on the understanding, description, and mathematical modeling of physical and natural systems. Her research is part of the broader context of studying complex systems that exhibit coherence properties. These are nonlinear dynamic systems that, through synchronization mechanisms between different space-time scales, display globally organized oscillations (autonomous oscillations), such as fluid-fluid and/or fluid-solid interactions. Information about the characteristics of complex systems can be extracted from the study of experimental and observational data obtained by monitoring, for example, a representative quantity (e.g., soil deformation), recorded as scalar time series. Standard and innovative techniques from information theory, signal processing, and particularly methods from dynamic systems theory, stochastic processes, and probability theory enable the inference of source mechanisms underlying the investigated phenomena.
