معرفی
Roberto Vancetti is a Tenured Assistant Professor at the Department of Structural, Building and Geotechnical Engineering (DISEG), Polytechnic University of Turin, where he is affiliated with the College of Civil and Building Engineering. He is actively involved in teaching and research, with a focus on fire safety engineering and human behavior in emergencies. His work integrates advanced technologies such as Virtual Reality, BIM, and CFD to improve building safety and emergency preparedness.
His research interests include:
- Fire safety engineering and performance-based design
- Human behavior modeling during emergencies
- Virtual and Augmented Reality applications for evacuation training
- BIM-Fire Safety Engineering interoperability
- CFD analysis of facade fires
- Evaluation of emergency signage and escape routes
His recent publications (2022–2024) reflect a strong trend toward integrating behavioral modeling with computational simulations, particularly in school environments and building facades. The works emphasize validation through full-scale testing and the use of immersive technologies to enhance safety training and evacuation planning.
He has led multiple research projects funded by commercial contracts and collaborations with fire departments, serving as Scientific Director or Manager. These projects include fire risk analysis, VR applications in fire safety, and facade fire safety assessments using CFD.
Roberto Vancetti teaches in the Master's Degree in Building Engineering, offering courses such as:
- Fire Safety Engineering (FSE)
- Fire Safety Prevention
- Internship and Professional Training
- Integral Design for Building Resilience
He has also been a member of the doctoral college for the PhD program in Technological Innovation for the Built Environment since 2008, supervising and guiding doctoral candidates. His research contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals 3 (Good Health and Well-being) and 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities).
He is actively engaged in research labs and teams focused on fire safety, human behavior simulation, and digital tools for architecture and engineering, though specific lab names are not provided in the text.
