Stefano Galelli

Stefano Galelli is an associate professor in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Cornell University. His research focuses on the interactions between critical infrastructure systems and the natural environment, particularly on characterizing how hydro-climatic variability cascades across interconnected water-energy infrastructures and providing adaptive, robust, and scalable management solutions that balance reliability, resilience, and sustainability. Galelli leads the Critical Infrastructure Systems Lab and has taught foundational and advanced courses in data analytics, optimization, and water and energy management. His work is supported by NSF, DoE, USGS, the World Bank, and Schmidt Sciences.

Stefano Galelli is an Associate Professor at Cornell University specializing in Water Resources Management, Hydroinformatics, Multi-objective Optimisation, Optimal Control, and Systems. His research focuses on enhancing the security and efficiency of water distribution systems through advanced computational methods. Galelli investigates cyber-physical attacks on water infrastructure, develops frameworks for dynamic emulation modeling, and explores data-driven approaches for environmental systems. His work also addresses climate change impacts on hydropower and reservoir operations, emphasizing the integration of machine learning and optimization techniques. By combining hydrological modeling with cybersecurity, Galelli contributes to the sustainable management of water resources in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
