Academic Career
- He receives the Master degree cun laude in Structural
Engineering at the
Technical University of Turin (Politecnico) when he was 24
years old. Title of the Master thesis: “ Attenuation of the seismic
response of structures based on pil foundations”, Professors De Stefano
e Lancellotta, awarded as best structural thesis in the years 1998-1999
of the Politecnico di Torino.
- He receives his PhD research studies at the Technical
University of Turin (Politecnico) with Prof. Lancellotta, spending 1
year at the
