Anna Reggio

Anna Reggio is an Associate Professor in the Department of Structural, Building and Geotechnical Engineering (DISEG) at the Polytechnic University of Turin. She is a member of the Interdepartmental Center SISCON, dedicated to the Safety of Infrastructures and Constructions. Her academic work spans both research and teaching across civil engineering and architecture disciplines. She actively contributes to doctoral education as a member of the teaching college for the Civil and Environmental Engineering PhD program.

Research Interests:

• Civil and structural engineering
• Engineering mechanics
• Seismic risk and reliability
• Structural dynamics
• Vibration control and monitoring
• Computational engineering
• Mechanics of Solids and Structures

Her research focuses on enhancing the seismic resilience of structures and infrastructure, with applications in bridges, façades, and critical facilities such as hospitals. She employs advanced computational methods and experimental techniques to analyze structural performance under dynamic loads.

Recent Publication Trends: Her latest publications (2023–2024) reflect a strong focus on earthquake engineering, structural dynamics, and optimization. Topics include non-destructive testing of bridges, nonlinear dynamic behavior of glass façades, shape optimization of beams, and seismic resilience of medical equipment. These works demonstrate her expertise in both theoretical and applied structural engineering, particularly in the context of safety and sustainability.

Grants and External Roles: She held a research contract at the University of Rome "La Sapienza" (2012–2013), indicating external research collaboration beyond her home institution.

Teaching Activities:

• Course leader/instructor for "Construction Workshop F" and "Building Construction Studio B" in the Architecture program (2019–2026)
• Course collaborator for "Dynamics of Structures" and "Building Science" in Civil Engineering
• Member of the College of Architecture and Design

Patents:

• Seismic safety belts for industrial warehouses (hanging system) – National Patent (co-inventor)

Labs and Research Centers: She is affiliated with the SISCON Interdepartmental Center, which supports interdisciplinary research on infrastructure safety, including structural monitoring, risk assessment, and disaster resilience.
