Giovanni Anglani

Giovanni Anglani is a Lecturer at the Department of Structural, Building and Geotechnical Engineering (DISEG) at Politecnico di Torino. He also collaborates with the Department of Environmental, Land and Infrastructure Engineering (DIATI).

• Research interests include: Self-healing concrete, Non-destructive testing, Durability, Advanced repair technologies, Experimental mechanics.
• Professional roles: Editorial Board Member of Materials (2025-), Guest Editor for Frontiers in Materials (2023-), and active participant in COST Action CA15202 SARCOS (2016-2021).
• Teaching activities: Course collaborator for Mechanics of Innovative Materials, Theory of Structures, and Experimental Laboratory for Testing and Measurement in Civil Engineering across multiple academic years (2019-2025) in both Building and Civil Engineering programs.

His research focuses on self-healing cementitious materials, particularly through encapsulation technologies and experimental mechanical characterization. Recent work addresses fracture mechanisms, durability assessment, and economic implications of self-healing concrete. He has contributed to standardization efforts in self-healing concrete testing through inter-laboratory studies.

Key scientific contributions include memberships in professional societies such as RILEM (2020-). His publication trends emphasize material innovation, structural sustainability, and advanced testing methodologies.
