Rino (Ruggiero) Lovreglio is a New Zealand academic. Since 2023, he 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] His research focuses on small and large scale evacuation simulation and modelling, pedestrian dynamics and safety training using emerging technologies, such as virtual reality and augmented reality.
Education[edit]
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[edit]
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).
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.[3] He is also a reviewer for many international journals in different fields, such as fire, safety and simulation research, applied mathematics and transportation modelling.
Before his appointment at Massey University in 2018, Lovreglio was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Auckland (New Zealand) and a guest researcher at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (USA).
Recognition[edit]
Lovreglio is the recipient of the 2022 5 under 35 SFPE award for his contribution to the fire protection engineering profession and the community. [4]. He was awarded with the 2020 Massey Research Medal (Early Career) and the 2020 College of Science Research Award (Early Career) in recognition of his research excellence in the engineering and safety fields. [5] Since 2022, he has been listed in the top 2% world's ranking of scientists by Stanford/Elsevier.[6]. In 2021, Lovreglio was an Erskine Fellow at the Department of Civil and Natural Resources Engineering of the University of Canterbury. In 2022, Lovreglio received a Rutherford Discovery Fellowship by Royal Society Te Apārangi (New Zealand) for a project title "Identification and implementation of fundamental crowd behavioural rules".
