Kia Ora! I am

Ruggiero Lovreglio

I am an Associate Professor in Digital Construction and Fire Engineering at Massey University (NZ) and a Rutherford Discovery Fellow for Royal Society Te Apārangi (NZ).
​
I am currently the Associate Director of Research at the School of Built Environment (Massey University). I am 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.
​
​My research and teaching include: 

- Building Information Modelling;
- Decision-Making Modelling;

- Evacuation Modelling and Pedestrian Dynamics;
- Human Behavior in Fire, Wildfire and Earthquake;
- Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality (Oculus, VIVE, Unity);
- Data Collection and Data Analysis (R, MATLAB, SPSS, Biogeme, Stan);
- Discrete Choice Analysis (Biogeme, Nlogit);
- Applied statistics for Image Analysis;

A little about myself

I hold a PhD from Scuola Interpolitecnica di Dottorato, Politecnico di Bari, Politecnico di Milano and Politecnico di Torino (Italy). My studies embed Human Behaviour in Fire and Evacuation Modelling. During my PhD, I have 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).

I have published several papers on Evacuation Modelling,  Human Behavior in Disasters (e.g. fires, bush-fires, earthquakes), Serious Games and Virtual Reality as you can see on my Publications page. At the moment I am also reviewer for many International Journals in different fields, such as fire, safety and simulation research, applied mathematics and transportation modelling  (e.g.  please visit my Reviewer page for a comprehensive list). My publications are the result of collaborations with several universities, institutions and companies.

I am a Virtual Reality and Serious Game software developer and I have programming skills using MATLAB, R, C#, VB.NET (have a look at some application in the Gallery page). I also develop websites and on-line applications and questionnaires using PHP, JavaScript (Ajax) and SQL (see my Programming pages). I have also experience as webmaster.
