Dr Rino (Ruggiero) Lovreglio

Rino (Ruggiero) Lovreglio is an associate professor in digital construction and fire engineering at Massey University (New Zealand).[1] and a Rutherford Discovery Fellow for Royal Society Te Apārangi (New Zealand).[2]

Education

Lovreglio holds a PhD from Scuola Interpolitecnica di Dottorato, Polytechnic University of Bari, Polytechnic University of Milan and Polytechnic University of Turin (Italy). His studies focus human behaviour in disasters, pedestrian evacuations and large scale evacuations. During his PhD, he investigated evacuee decision-making by using discrete choice modelling. This goal was achieved by analysing data from stated preferences (i.e. virtual reality experiments) and revealed preferences (i.e. real and virtual reality experiments).

Career

Lovreglio is an Associate Professor in Digital Construction and fire engineering at Massey University (New Zealand).[1] and a Rutherford Discovery Fellow for Royal Society Te Apārangi (New Zealand)[2]

Lovreglio is an Associate Editor for Safety Science (Elsevier) and Fire Technology (Springer). He is a member of the Editorial Board of Fire Safety Journal (Elsevier). He represents New Zealand in the ISO working group in Fire Safety Engineering (ISO/TC92/SC4/WG11).

He is the recipient of the 2022 5 under 35 SFPE award and the 2020 Massey Research Medal - Early Career and the 2020 College of Science Research Award - Early Career. Since 2022, he has been listed in the top 2% world's ranking of scientists by Stanford/Elsevier.[3]

Lovreglio has published over 100 papers on evacuation modelling, human behavior in disasters (e.g. fires, bushfires, floods, earthquakes), serious games, augmented reality and virtual reality. His research publications includes a letter to Science on pedestrian dynamics.[4] He is also a reviewer for many international journals in different fields, such as fire, safety and simulation research, applied mathematics and transportation modelling.
