I am a post-doctoral researcher with the Department of Civil Engineering and Architecture of the University of Pavia, Italy, where I also collaborate with the EUCENTRE Foundation. My research and professional interests include: Performance-based earthquake engineering; Structural dynamics and nonlinear structural analysis; Experimental testing on materials, components, and structural systems; Masonry structures; Reinforced, prestressed, post-tensioned, and composite steel-concrete structures; Bridge structures; Low-damage solutions for earthquake resistance (isolation, self-centering systems, supplemental energy dissipation); Seismic evaluation and retrofit of existing and historical structures.
