Ruggiero Lovreglio (known also as Professor Rino) is an Italian academic based in Auckland, New Zealand. He is an associate professor at Massey University (New Zealand)[1] and a Rutherford Discovery Fellow for Royal Society Te Apārangi (New Zealand).[2] His research is focused on large-scale and small-scale evacuation dynamics and safety training using emerging technologies, such as virtual reality and augmented reality.[3][4]

Early life and education

[edit]

Lovreglio lived in Barletta (Apuglia, Italy) most of his life before moving overseas. He is from a farming family which did not stop him from pursuing his interest in science and technology. He studied high school at Liceo Scientifico Carlo Cafiero, achieving a final grade of 100/100. He studied civil engineering for his bachelor's degree at Polytechnic University of Bari, graduating in 2010 cum laude. He pursued his master's studies in the same university, graduating in 2012 cum laude.[5]

Lovreglio obtained his PhD in Civil Engineering from Scuola Interpolitecnica di Dottorato, Polytechnic University of Bari, Polytechnic University of Milan, Polytechnic University of Turin in 2016.[6] He investigated how people make evacuation decisions while evacuating building fires.[7] He was a Research Fellow from 2016 to 2018 at the University of Auckland and then at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (USA) to study human behavior in earthquakes and wildfires.[6][8]

Career

[edit]

In 2018, he joined Massey University, where he established the Digital Built Environment Lab, focusing on the use of digital technologies for enhanced safety of built environments.[6][9] Lovreglio is an associate professor at Massey University (New Zealand) and a Rutherford Discovery Fellow for the Royal Society Te Apārangi (New Zealand). He is an associate editor for Safety Science (Elsevier)[10] and Fire Technology (Springer).[11] He is a member of the editorial board of Fire Safety Journal (Elsevier) and Virtual Reality (Springer).[12][13] Lovreglio has published over 80 peer-reviewed scientific works[14] and he has led several research projects related to evacuation and safety training including a Marsden project funded by the Royal Society Te Apārangi.[15][16] He represents New Zealand in the ISO Fire Safety Engineering working group: ISO/TC92/SC4/WG11.[15] During his career, he has been a guest researcher and lecturer at Tsinghua University, NIST, Lund University, ETH Zurich, University of Canterbury, Università Politecnica delle Marche, Edinburgh Napier University.[17][citation needed]
