Ph.D. Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences 2019, M.Eng. University of Trento, Environmental and Land Engineering, B.Eng. University of Trento, Environmental and Land Engineering. Nicola is studying turbulence dissipation rate measurements from lidars (AMT2018) in complex terrain (ACP2019) and offshore (GRL2019). He has applied machine learning methods to better represent turbulence in atmospheric models. He has also used scanning lidar data to characterize wind turbine wakes (AMT2017), and has assessed interannual variability in wind resource assessment (WES2016).  He helped collect data during the Perdigão field campaign. Dr. Bodini is now a staff scientist in wind energy at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory‘s Flatirons Campus after a short postdoctoral appointment at NREL.
