He has managed multiple projects of New Jersey Department of Transportation, Research and Innovative Technology Administration USDOT and New York State Department of Transportation. He received Aviation Research Award and New Jersey DOT Research Implementation Award in year 2012. He was recognized for his exemplary teaching by Mid-Atlantic American Society of Engineering Education in 2008. He received Louis J. Pignataro Memorial Transportation Engineering Education Award in 2013 for outstanding record of achievement in transportation engineering research, and undergraduate and graduate engineering education. He is Associate Editor of American Society of Civil Engineers Journal of Transportation Engineering. He is part of Editorial Board, Modern Traffic and Transportation Engineering Research (MTTER). He is member of American Society of Civil Engineers, Transportation Research Board, American Society for Engineering Education and Association of Asphalt Paving Technologist. Dr. Iacopo Carnacina is Senior Lecturer in Civil Engineering at Liverpool John Moores University since year 2017.Prior to this he has been Lecturer and Researcher in River Engineering at UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education within the department of Water Science and Engineering. In 2006 he obtained his master degree in Hydraulic, Transportation and Territory Engineering from the University of Pisa, Italy. In 2010 he obtained his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the doctorate school of the University of Pisa "Leonardo da Vinci" Italy. Since 2007, he has also been a member of the professional body of Civil Engineers of the province of La Spezia, Italy. Previously, he was involved in the CARNOT/VITRE research project on sediment transportation of combined sewer networks using acoustic devices at the French Institute of science and technology for transport, development and networks (IFSTTAR). After that, he worked for more than 5 years at AIR Worldwide, a catastrophe modeller firm, where he developed fluvial, pluvial and storm surge stochastic numerical models for the continental United States, Brazil, China, Central Europe, UK and Japan. There, he also worked as model manager and scientific lead for the new North Sea storm surge model in collaboration with Deltares, which resulted in development of new solutions using Delft3D-Flexile Mesh.He is interested in local erosion in correspondence of hydraulic structures such as bridge, river training structures and dams, large scale numerical flood models and flood protection. He has also contributed to the study of sustainable river training structures, with focus on local erosion phenomena and morphology, design, energy dissipation and two phase flow development. His research focuses on the sustainable impact of hydraulic structures with focus micro-hydropower development in rural regions use of sustainable resource to optimize efficiency and minimize the environmental impact.
