Meet the editors

Dr. Khalid S. Essa received his B.Sc. with honors (1997), an M.Sc. (2001), and a Ph.D. (2004) in Geophysics from the Faculty of Science, Cairo University. He joined the staff of Cairo University (1997) and was appointed a Research Professor of potential field methods in the Department of Geophysics (2014). He has undertaken affiliated post-doctoral visits to Strasbourg University, France (2018), Charles University in Prague, Czech

(2014), and Western Michigan University, USA (2006) and served as an editor and external reviewer for many top journals. He attended several international geophysical conferences in the USA, Australia, and France. He is a member of SEG, AGU, AAPG, EAGE, and EGS. Also, he is a member of the Petroleum and Mineral Resources Research Council, Academy of Scientific Research and Technology, Egypt (2018). He has been awarded the Award of Prof. Nasry Matari Shokry in Applied Geology, Academy of Scientific Research & Technology (2017) and the Award of Cairo University for Scientific Excellence in Interdisciplinary, Multidisciplinary and Future Sciences (2017).

Marcello Di Risio is an Associated Professor (Academic Discipline: Hydraulic Structures, Maritime Engineering, and Hydrology) of the Department of Civil Engineering, Building Architecture and Environmental of the University of L'Aquila. He is the Head of the Laboratory of Environmental and Maritime Hydraulics (LIam) of the same department. He received his Ph.D. in 2005 at the University of Roma Tre. Then, he held a re-

search grant at the University of Rome Tor Vergata and, from 2008 to 2018, he was a researcher at the University of L'Aquila. He has been the chief scientist and coordinator of several research projects, funded by public and private bodies. With many years of experience in the field of hydraulic and maritime construction, his main research topics are: mathematical and experimental modeling of coastal morphodynamic and hydrodynamic phenomena, landslide-generated waves, maritime and hydraulic works, hydraulic risk analysis, real time identification systems of tidal waves, real-time forecasting systems of wave motion and water levels, and development of devices for energy extraction from waves.

Daniele Celli is currently a Post Doctorate student at the Department of Civil, Construction-Architectural and Environmental Engineering (DICEAA) of the University of L'Aquila. In 2015, he received his Master's Degree (cum laude) in Civil Engineering and in 2019 he received his Ph.D. (cum laude) in Risk and Environmental, Territorial and Building Development at the Technical University of Bari. His research interests are focused on

coastal structures, water wave generation and propagation, physical and numerical modeling of wave-structure interaction and wave-soil-structure interaction, wave energy assessment and extraction, coastal hydrodynamics, and morphodynamics.

Davide Pasquali is currently a Research Fellow in the Department of Civil, Construction-Architectural and Environmental Engineering (DICEAA) at the University of L'Aquila. In 2011, he received his Master's Degree (cum laude) in Civil Engineering and in 2015 he received his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering at the University of L'Aquila. His research interests are focused on water wave generation and propagation, coastal hydrodynamic and morContents
