Elena Miceli

Elena Miceli is a Research Fellow at the Department of Structural, Building and Geotechnical Engineering (DISEG) of Politecnico di Torino. She actively contributes to teaching as a Course Collaborator in programs like Civil and Environmental Engineering, focusing on seismic design and nonlinear structural analysis.

• Current academic role: Research Fellow in Structural Engineering
• Teaching focus: Seismic reliability, bridge design, nonlinear finite element analysis

Her research centers on earthquake engineering, particularly in friction-isolated structures (FPS) and reinforced concrete behavior under seismic loads. She explores probabilistic robustness, strain-based safety assessment methods, and epistemic uncertainties in nonlinear analyses.

Recent research trends include:

• Seismic response of multi-span bridges
• Nonlinear finite element analysis validation
• Safety factors for RC structures
• Practical applications of structural engineering research

She supervises PhD student Gabriele Neri (40th cycle, ongoing since 2024) and participates in commercial research projects aimed at bridging academic research with practical engineering applications.
