Alessandro Cardoni

Alessandro Cardoni is a Fixed-term Assistant Professor at the Department of Structural, Building and Geotechnical Engineering (DISEG) at the Polytechnic University of Turin, Italy. He holds a position under Law 240/10 art.24-a and is actively involved in teaching and research activities related to structural engineering and disaster resilience.

His educational background includes a doctoral dissertation titled "Community Resilience and Seismic Performance of Physical Infrastructures" completed in 2021. His academic progression shows a clear trajectory from doctoral research to independent research leadership with increasing supervisory responsibilities.

Dr. Cardoni's research focuses on critical infrastructures, disaster resilience, earthquake engineering, and structural health monitoring. His work bridges theoretical approaches with practical applications for improving infrastructure safety. He has developed innovative methodologies for structural identification, seismic vulnerability assessment, and resilience analysis of complex infrastructure systems, often incorporating machine learning techniques, sensor networks, and advanced computational modeling.

His publication record shows consistent output with a focus on practical applications of structural engineering principles to real-world problems, including analysis of historical structures, port infrastructure, and critical urban systems. His recent work demonstrates particular attention to infrastructure interdependencies and frameworks for assessing community resilience.
