Smart Masonry enabling SAFEty-assessing STructures after earthquakes

Filippo Ubertini is a Full Professor of Structural Design at University of Perugia, Italy, where he teaches “Structural Analysis and Design” and “Earthquake Engineering” and where he coordinates the International Doctoral Program in Civil and Environmental Engineering. He graduated cum laude in Civil Engineering at University of Perugia in 2005 and received his PhD in Civil Engineering from University of Pavia in 2009.

He was visiting scholar at Columbia University in 2008. Author of more than 160 papers published in high impact international journals, his research is mainly focused on structural health monitoring, with emphasis on smart materials, vibration-based methods and applications to earthquake engineering, bridge engineering and cultural heritage structures.He is a member of the editorial board of Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing and of other international journals. He is Vice-President of the Italian “FABRE” Consortium that is leading multimillion national research on bridge engineering.

He is and has been PI of several international and national research projects including an ongoing Italian FIS Advanced Grant. He has been plenary/keynote speaker at prestigious international conferences, including IOMAC 2024, SPIE-NDE 2024, CMMOST 2023, EURODYN 2020 and CBPAT 2020. Dr. Ubertini has been awarded by the Italian Association for Wind Engineering in 2010 and has received best papers awards in EVACES 2011 and IOMAC 2019.
