Marco Domaneschi

Marco Domaneschi is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Structural, Building and Geotechnical Engineering (DISEG) at Politecnico di Torino, Italy. He teaches courses in Earthquake Engineering, Structural Design, and Seismic Protection Systems. He previously served as a Research Associate and Contract Professor at Politecnico di Milano and has extensive experience as a structural engineer and R&D consultant.

His research focuses on bridge engineering, earthquake engineering, structural monitoring, disaster resilience, and sustainability. He employs advanced numerical simulations and experimental techniques to assess and enhance the safety and performance of civil infrastructure. His work integrates digital technologies, machine learning, and smart materials for structural control and health monitoring.

The recent publications highlight a strong trend in resilience assessment, seismic protection systems, sustainable retrofitting using exoskeletons, structural health monitoring (SHM), and digital innovation in infrastructure management. His research increasingly combines computational modeling with real-world applications, including blockchain for asset management and AI for dynamic identification.
