معرفی
Agostino Walter Bruno serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil, Chemical and Environmental Engineering (DICCA) at the University of Genoa, Italy, specializing in geotechnics (CEAR-05/A section). His academic role encompasses teaching and research in sustainable construction materials with emphasis on earth-based systems.
His research portfolio focuses on:
- Hygrothermal performance of earthen building materials
- Soil stabilization techniques using hydrated lime and natural polymers
- Mechanical reinforcement with bio-based fibers
- Numerical modeling of material behavior
- Sustainability challenges in bio-stabilized construction
Professor Bruno's recent publications reveal a concentrated research trajectory examining the thermal, mechanical, and moisture-related properties of earth materials, particularly investigating innovative stabilization methods and their practical applications in eco-friendly construction. His work bridges experimental validation with numerical analysis to address real-world implementation barriers.
He teaches core geotechnics courses including Fundamentals of Geotechnics (Modules 1 & 2) for Civil and Environmental Engineering undergraduates, and Structural Design: Geotechnical Aspects for Building Engineering master's students. Office hours are conducted by email appointment through his institutional contact.
