Carlo Salvinelli is an Associate Teaching Professor at the Mortenson Center in Global Engineering & Resilience at the University of ColoradoÌýºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ where he teaches courses on humanitarian aid, international development project management, and field methods for development engineers.Ìý

He has a BS in Industrial Engineering and a MS in Engineering Management from the University of Brescia, Italy, and a PhD in Geological Engineering from the Missouri University of Science and Technology where he conducted research on household water treatment systems for underserved communities.Ìý

Dr. Salvinelli spent six years working as a practitioner for international NGOs and the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation, especially in Central America, where he designed and implemented international development projects, coordinated emergency response efforts, and facilitated international policy dialogues. The projects he managed addressed key development challenges including rural livelihood, water and sanitation access, rural electrification, disaster risk reduction, and natural resources management.Ìý

His research interests include monitoring and impact evaluation of water service delivery solutions, the development of tools for disaster risk reduction and disaster management, and the coherence between humanitarian and development efforts in response to forced displacement-related crises.
