Statement
In general, my research aims to develop high-performance wood-based systems and structures, as well as related performance-based optimum design procedures for engineers to provide them with cost-effective safer buildings, also under extreme events. Specifically, my research vision focuses on integrating new engineered wood products, structural elements, and prefabricated hybrid composite systems into a coherent framework of innovative methods of design and construction for the next generation of buildings and sustainable urban development.
Research areas
- Timber Engineering
- Structural Engineering
- Earthquake Engineering
Research Interests
- Displacement-based design of timber structures
- Seismic design and analysis of timber buildings
- Industrialized construction systems for multi-story buildings
- Innovative design methods for mass timber construction
- Development of design guidance for hybrid buildings in earthquake-prone areas
- Towards a rational design of tall wood-based buildings
- Naturally-inspired industrialized construction systems
- Experimental tests of timber assemblies
