Giuseppe Mascaro earned a “Laurea” (Master of Science) in civil engineering in 2001 (summa cum laude) and a doctorate in hydrology in 2008 from the University of Cagliari, Italy.

During his doctorate, he spent eight months as a visiting researcher at New Mexico Tech, Socorro (2006). From April to December 2008, he was a postdoctoral research associate at New Mexico Tech, Socorro. In January 2009, he was awarded a postdoctoral fellowship of four years by the Italian Ministry of Education and Research at the University of Cagliari, where he was also the lecturer for the undergraduate class Water Systems Design.

Mascaro joined Arizona State University in 2012 (November 2012 to August 2014) as a research engineer at the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment and as a lecturer for the graduate class Advanced Watershed Hydrology.

Currently he is an assistant professor at the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment at ASU. His research interests include stochastic hydrology, watershed modeling, hydroclimatology and the food-water-energy nexus.
