Cesare Mario Rizzo serves as a Full Professor in the Department of Naval, Electrical, Electronic and Telecommunications Engineering at the University of Genoa. He holds a position on the Scientific-Technical Committee of the University's Strategic Center for the Sea (Centro del mare). His teaching portfolio includes Naval Construction for the Master's Degree in Naval Engineering, Sailing Yacht Design for both Bachelor's and Master's programs, and Yacht Rigging for the Master's Degree in Yacht Design across academic years 2024-2026.
Professor Rizzo's research centers on structural integrity in marine environments with emphasis on composite materials, dynamic load responses, and advanced design methodologies. His work bridges theoretical naval architecture with practical engineering solutions for vessel safety and performance, particularly in pleasure craft and composite naval structures. Key investigation areas include nonlinear structural behavior, underwater explosion effects, and rational scantling approaches validated through combined experimental and numerical techniques.
Recent publications (2023-2025) reveal a consistent focus on extreme condition structural analysis, with significant contributions to deck strength assessment, underwater blast effects on composite hulls, and GRP pleasure craft design standards. The research demonstrates methodological rigor through experimental validation of numerical models, addressing critical safety challenges in modern naval architecture.
As an active committee member of the Strategic Center for the Sea, Professor Rizzo contributes to interdisciplinary marine research initiatives. His office hours are conducted at teaching locations in Genoa or La Spezia by prior email appointment, reflecting his integrated approach to academic responsibilities and student engagement.
