Massimo Guerrero obtained the National Scientific Qualification for the role of associate professor, Call D.D. 1532/2016, Competition Sector 08/A1, Hydraulics, Hydrology, Hydraulic and Maritime Constructions, SSD ICAR/01, Hydraulics and Fluid Mechanics; valid from 05/04/2017 (art.16, paragraph 1, Law 240/2010). Since the 2019-2020 academic year, he has been teaching the basic course in Fluid Mechanics, and since the 2020-21 academic year, Advanced/Experimental Fluid Mechanics for the Bachelor's and Master's courses in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Bologna, Forlì campus. From the 2022-2023 academic year, he contributes to teaching for Environmental Engineering, and from the 2025-2026 academic year to some courses in Civil Engineering, as well, proposing topics concerning River Hydro-Morphodynamics.
Massimo Guerrero has been participating in several research projects, contributing with innovative and personal solutions. He mainly focuses on the experimental approach in the hydraulic laboratory and on indirect measurement methods (i.e., ultrasound, videography, laser-optics) applied to turbulent hydraulic flows and river sediment transport. This work also aims to involve the industry at an international level. Evidence of this includes: (i) roles within the Experimental Methods and Instrumentation Committee (EMI) of the International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR), (ii) the organizing of the W.A.T.E.R. Summer School (Workshop on Advanced measurement Techniques and Experimental Research), and (iii) the IAHR monograph titled Monitoring Sediment Fluxes with Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP). Dozens of contributions published in prestigious journals and presented at major international conferences in hydraulic engineering, starting from 2012, sum up to an h-index of 21 (Scopus). International collaborations add up to more than 100 co-authors.
