Matthew Jacob Trussoni

Matthew Jacob Trussoni is an Assistant Professor at the University of Miami's College of Engineering, affiliated with the Department of Civil, Architectural & Environmental Engineering. His research focuses on sustainable construction materials and structural systems.

• Environmental Engineering
• Fracture Mechanics
• Life-Cycle Assessment

His work compares the environmental impacts of structural systems and investigates the mechanical properties of lightweight concrete using expanded polystyrene (EPS) as aggregate replacement. Key findings include a 67.2% reduction in CO2 emissions for cable systems over truss systems and enhanced compressive strength in concrete using manufactured EPS.

Trussoni's publications span topics like material efficiency, fracture energy, and sustainable construction practices, with recent emphasis on reducing embodied energy and improving energy-related toughness in concrete mixtures.
