The scholarship in object is pos. n. 1 in the list below, "Large Language Model-based agents for multi-hazard coastal risk assessment and management".

Please don't hesitate to contact me at my institutional email, lorenzo.mentaschi@unibo.it, if you need any further information. Below, a brief synopsis of the research project:

"Coastal risk assessment requires integrating heterogeneous data, complex numerical models, and evolving observations. This PhD project develops LLM-based agents to automate key steps in this workflow: model configuration, output analysis, and multi-hazard decision support for rapid, context-aware risk evaluation — translating complex scientific data into operational strategies for coastal resilience."
