About

Giovanni Gigli is a leading researcher in the field of ground instability monitoring, with a focus on landslides, subsidence, and open-pit mine safety. His most impactful work centers on the development of a flexible wireless sensor network (WSN) based on Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) technology, which enables highly accurate 3D monitoring of ground deformations. This innovative system, designed as part of the European Life+ project Wi-GIM, has garnered significant attention, with his 2018 paper on the topic accumulating 25 citations. Gigli’s contributions are pivotal in advancing real-time, remote sensing solutions for geohazards, offering a cost-effective and scalable alternative to traditional monitoring methods. In addition, his 2020 study on combining structural data with monitoring data in open pit mines provides critical insights into failure mechanisms and radar alarm calibration, enhancing safety in mining operations. With a career dedicated to bridging engineering and geoscience, Gigli’s work has practical implications for disaster risk reduction and infrastructure resilience. His research is essential reading for students and professionals interested in innovative sensor technologies and slope stability analysis.
