Mattia Baldassari

Mattia Baldassari is a PhD candidate (2021-2024) in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Turin, serving as an external lecturer in the Department of Structural, Building and Geotechnical Engineering (DISEG). He teaches Building Science for Electrical Engineering and Structural Rehabilitation for Architecture programs.

His research focuses on sustainable structural materials, emphasizing natural fiber composites for construction. Key areas include durability and mechanical behavior of flax textile-reinforced mortars (TRMs), fracture mechanics in concrete/rock systems, and analytical modeling of composite interfaces under tensile loads.

Publication analysis reveals consistent innovation in eco-friendly reinforcement techniques, particularly examining environmental durability degradation and textile architecture effects in flax-TRMs. His work bridges experimental mechanics with practical structural rehabilitation applications, targeting sustainable alternatives to synthetic composites.
