Diego Maria Barbieri

Dr. Diego Maria Barbieri is an Associate Professor in Transport Infrastructure Engineering at Oslo Metropolitan University's Faculty of Technology, Art and Design, Department of Built Environment. His work focuses on resilient and sustainable technologies for infrastructure systems.

• Education: Ph.D. in Road Engineering (NTNU), MSc in Railway Engineering (NTNU), MSc in Civil Engineering (Sapienza University of Rome), BSc in Civil Engineering (University of Modena and Reggio Emilia)

Research interests center on sustainable transport infrastructure, including:

• Road, railway, airport, and port design/construction
• Transport geotechnics
• Material stabilization techniques
• Carbon footprint reduction in construction
• Pavement performance under environmental stress
• Smart monitoring systems for road conditions

Recent publications highlight:

• Freeze-thaw effects on asphalt durability
• Sulfur-extended bitumen optimization
• Carbon budgeting in road projects
• Vibration mitigation with geofoam
• Material property analysis via machine learning
• BIM for emission quantification

Scientific contributions include:

• Candidate for Italian Bilateral Scientific Cooperation Award (2020)
• Leadership in the Transport, Infrastructure, and Urban Development (TransFrUrban) research group

His work involves both experimental testing (e.g., triaxial tests) and computational modeling of infrastructure systems.
