Maria Rosaria Marulli

Maria Rosaria Marulli is a Research Fellow at the IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca, Italy, associated with the MUSAM Research Unit (Multi-Scale Analysis of Materials). She holds a Master’s in Civil Engineering from Università del Salento (2017) and a PhD in Computer Science and Systems Engineering from IMT Lucca (2021), focusing on structural joint performance assessment. Her research interests include computational mechanics of complex material surfaces, bio-inspired adhesives, and fracture mechanics. She has conducted visiting research at Universitaet der Bundeswehr Munich, Universidad de Sevilla, and Northwestern University.

Her work bridges materials science and engineering, emphasizing multi-scale analysis of material interfaces, adhesive joints, and bio-inspired designs. Recent publications explore contact mechanics in archaeological artifacts and fracture behavior in layered materials. Awards and grants are not explicitly listed, though her active participation in international networks like NEWFRAC Marie Curie ITN highlights her collaborative contributions. No advisees or grants are documented in the provided text. She is affiliated with the MUSAM lab, advancing multi-scale material analysis through computational frameworks.
