Roberto Cerioni

Roberto Cerioni is a Professor in the Department of Engineering and Architecture at the University of Parma, where he has been a faculty member since 2002, previously serving as an Assistant Researcher from 1990. He holds an MS in Civil Engineering from the University of Ancona (1983) and has taught extensively in both Civil Engineering and Architecture programs, including courses such as Construction Techniques, Analysis and Control of Structures, and Design of Structures.

His research focuses on the structural behavior of reinforced and prestressed concrete, masonry systems (particularly AAC masonry), nonlinear analysis, and finite element modeling. He investigates critical aspects such as shear and torsion in RC members, constitutive modeling for simulation, and the performance of building components under extreme conditions like high temperatures.

Recent publications (2022–2023) highlight his active engagement in experimental and numerical studies on concrete tunnel linings under fire, mechanical characterization of AAC masonry, fracture properties of foams, and structural performance of lintels. These works reflect a strong trend toward sustainable construction materials and advanced structural analysis techniques.

He has authored or co-authored over 80 scientific papers. While no specific awards or fellowships are mentioned in the provided text, his sustained research output and teaching across multiple programs underscore his academic contributions.

Roberto Cerioni mentors students in civil and architectural engineering disciplines, though specific advisees are not listed. There is no mention of external grants or funding sources. He is involved in laboratory activities such as the Laboratory for Structure Design and Control, indicating hands-on teaching and research supervision.

His work is closely tied to practical and sustainable construction solutions, with ongoing research in material performance, structural safety, and innovative design methods. He continues to be an active academic as of the 2024/2025 academic year.
