Experimental research project at the National Science Foundation sponsored Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI), Experimental Facility at the University of California San Diego. Project related to CFS-NHERI 10-story Archetype Building Tests. Project objectives:

• Dynamic identification through MEMS-based accelerometer system during the test step planned;
• Data driven damage identification from the extracted modal parameters.

Second cycle degree program (LM) in Civil Engineering (cod. 0930)

• Developed introductory lesson on FEM software to be used to carry out the project;
• Conducted project revision with students;
• Evaluated projects before the examination;
• Supported Professors in conducting oral examinations.

Second cycle degree program (LM) in Offshore Engineering (cod. 9249)

• Attended during written examinations.

Title Assignment: 'Techniques for the identification of structural element damage from vibration measurements'.

• Following the analysis of the state of the art on the subject, experimental activities were carried out on structural elements, these was be equipped with instruments for measuring vibrations and was damaged, combining different modes of damage and different intensities of the same.
• The data collected were analysed using techniques operating in the time and frequency domains to understand which allows for better identification of the damage.

Experimental internship aimed at writing the master's thesis.

• Through investigations conducted in the LISG laboratory at the University of Bologna, the dynamic characteristics of a simply supported metal beam were identified experimentally by accelerometers and then used to identify the change in stiffness induced on it.
• Experimental investigations supported by modeling using Straus7 finite element software to simulate the laboratory tests.

Curricular internship at a design firm during master's program:

• Textural and cracking survey support of existing earthquake-damaged buildings;
• Graphic planning and design aimed to renovation and seismic improvement of existing buildings;
