Francesco Vanin

Francesco Vanin is a Lecturer at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), affiliated with the School of Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering. He works within the Civil Engineering department, focusing on earthquake engineering and structural dynamics. His teaching includes courses on structural dynamics and seismic design.

• Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics Laboratory (EESD), ENAC, IIC
• SGC-ENS, ENAC-SGC

His research centers on seismic behavior of masonry structures, equivalent frame modeling, and retrofitting of historical buildings. He investigates uncertainties in seismic assessment and develops numerical models for structural analysis.

Vanin's publications emphasize finite element modeling, FRP strengthening, and experimental validation of masonry structures. His work spans both computational and physical testing methodologies.

He supervises PhD student Bozulic Ivana and contributes to education in structural engineering through his teaching roles.
