معرفی
Professor Lorenzo Macorini is a Professor of Structural Engineering at Imperial College London's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, part of the Faculty of Engineering. He holds a PhD in Structural Engineering from the University of Trieste (Italy) and has been affiliated with Imperial since 2010, initially as a Marie Curie Intra-European Research Fellow. His research focuses on masonry structures, nonlinear structural analysis, and computational mechanics, with over 150 publications in leading journals and conferences.
Education:
- Second level (5-year) degree in Civil Engineering, University of Trieste, Italy
- PhD in Structural Engineering, University of Trieste, Italy
Research interests span civil engineering, materials engineering, interdisciplinary engineering, and environmental science. His work emphasizes masonry structures' seismic resilience, mesoscale modeling, and advanced numerical techniques. Recent publications address steel shear walls under seismic loading, blast-resistant masonry, and 3D simulations of historical bridges.
Prof Macorini has led industry and research council-funded projects, advising on structural assessment and design. He collaborates with public and private sectors on infrastructure durability and safety. His contributions include computational strategies for bridge monitoring and optimization of composite materials.
Labs/Teams: Member of the Computational Structural Mechanics group at Imperial College London, focusing on high-fidelity nonlinear modeling and parametric studies.
