Full Professor of Structural Design. Laurea and PhD degrees from Sapienza University of Rome, MSc from University of California, Berkeley. My research in the broader field of Earthquake Engineering focuses on Seismic Risk and Resilience Assessment of Structural and Infrastructural Systems. I teach Seismic Design and Assessment to Engineering and Architecture students. I am a member of the International Federation for Structural Concrete fib; the International Association for Structural Safety and Reliability IASSAR; the Doctoral School in Structural and Geotechnical Engineering at Sapienza; the Scientific Committee of the EUCENTRE Foundation as well as a faculty of the European School in Reduction of Seismic Risk, both in Pavia; I am involved in international code committees (CEN/TC250/SC8/T3 for the revision of Eurocode 8 Part 3 "Assessment and retrofitting of buildings", CEN/TC250/SC8/T6 for the revision of Eurocode 8 Part 2 " Design of structures for earthquake resistance - Part 2: Bridges", CEN/TC250/SC10/AHG Ad hoc group on "Reliability bases of the Eurocodes"). I am a member of the Editorial Board of Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dyanmics (Wiley), Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering (Elsevier), Sustainable and Resilient Infrastructures (Taylor & Francis) and Progettazione Sismica. I have extensive consulting experience in special problems involving seismic design, assessment and retrofit of existing bridges and buildings.
