Research Interests

Graduate Thesis: “Identification and Active Control by Megneto-Rheological Fluids of Torsionally Asymmetric Building Structures”, by Washington University of St Louis, Missouri, U.S.A. (October 2001 – February 2002).

Structural Identification

Health Monitoring

Structural Control
    - Dynamic behaviour and protection of bridges
    - Seismic behaviour and vulnerability of ancient historical buildings
    - Mechanical characterization and diagnosis af structures by ambient vibration dynamic tests and advanced signal processing, in time and time-frequency domain
    - Structural diagnosis via signal processing and neural techniques
    - Assessment of seismic vulnerability of ancient masonry buildings based on the analysis of archived administrative documents
