Welcome!

dr. Alessandro Corbetta

I am a University Researcher and NWO-VENI fellow at the Department of Applied Physics at Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands, working with prof. Federico Toschi.

My research focuses on the physics of pedestrian crowds. I measure and model the statistic and fluid-dynamics properties of crowds, via ad hoc automatic, 24/7, pedestrian tracking in real-life (Crowdflow research group).

I have extensive experience in high-reliability/high-performance software with scientific and data analytics purposes. Resume and IT.
