a Lecturer in Civil Engineering at the University of Huddersfield (UK), specializing in seismic vulnerability assessment, urban-scale multi-risk analysis, and sustainable retrofitting of masonry structures—with a focus on historical buildings. He holds a PhD in Civil Engineering (2021, Politehnica University of Timișoara, Romania) on near-field earthquake impacts on historical masonry, a Master’s in Structural Engineering (2013, University of Naples Federico II, Italy), and a Bachelor’s in Civil Engineering (2009, University of Naples Federico II).
With over 15 years of research experience, he has led/participated in 20+ international projects (e.g., Getty Foundation’s Wupatki Pueblo seismic assessment, EU’s STAND4HERITAGE) and published 28+ peer-reviewed journal papers (in Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics, Journal of Building Engineering)—amassing 810 citations and an h-index of 16. His expertise spans ground motion simulation, GIS-based risk mapping, flood/fire vulnerability, and sustainable materials (e.g., hemp fibres for retrofitting). He is a Graduate Member of the Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE), a Guest Editor for Sustainability and Buildings (MDPI), and a reviewer for 15+ top journals. He also supervises PhD/MSc students and leads undergraduate modules (e.g., Structural Design) at the University of Huddersfield.
