Seismic risk, from research to practice

I am an Assistant Professor at IUSS Pavia working on seismic design, loss and risk assessment, currently on SONATA, a project on the earthquake safety of non-structural elements. I co-founded Djura, which builds cloud tools for catastrophe risk engineering, and I lead development of the Built Environment Data platforms for experimental test data.

    SONATA: Sensor-driven statistical tools to evaluate risks and manage safety in the built environment

    Assistant Professor (RTDA)

    Earthquake safety of Italy’s built environment with a focus on non-structural elements: shake-table testing, sensors, AI and image recognition to assess seismic damage, derive fragility functions and build a prototype risk-management system.

    Funding: Fondo Italiano per la Scienza (FIS), Starting Grant

    Partners: IUSS Pavia (host), EUCENTRE
