Michela Rossi is a Marie Sklodowska Curie Researcher with the STRETCH (Smart Textiles for RETrofitting and Monitoring of Cultural Heritage Buildings) project at the EU-JRC. Her main research interests include structural assessment of existing buildings, seismic and energy retrofitting, structural health monitoring, and digital fabrication. In 2009, she completed her MSc in building engineering and architecture at the University of Genoa, Italy (UNIGE). She continued her research at the UNIGE, where, in 2015, she received her PhD in structural and geotechnical engineering. In 2015, she won a Blanceflor Boncompagni Ludovisi Postdoc scholarship, which supported her 6-month research stint at ETH Zurich, where she joined the Block Research Group (BRG) and developed an interest in digital fabrication and innovative testing technologies using robots. From August 2016 to June 2017, she was appointed a postdoctoral research fellow at the ETH-BRG, working on the experimental analysis of masonry structures and the use of innovative testing technologies. In 2017, she won a 2-year research fellowship at the UNIGE, working on the national project PERICLES (Protecting the Cultural Heritage from Water-soil Interaction Related Threats) and the SERA-TA project entitled, “Seismic Response of Masonry Cross Vaults: Shaking Table Tests and Numerical Validations”. Ten of her papers were published in high-impact journals, along with scientific publications at national and international conferences.
