معرفی
Vanessa Magnanimo is a Full Professor at the MESA+ Institute, University of Twente, specializing in the micromechanics of granular materials and clays using advanced Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations. Her research bridges micro- and macro-scale behavior of soils, focusing on computational modeling, small-strain stiffness, and material stabilization.
She has led 107 research outputs and 2 datasets, including studies on wet granular systems, bio-cemented soils, and vegetated soil mechanics. Recent work includes 2025 publications on coarse-grained DEM and mixing indices in industrial processes.
Notable activities include keynote talks at international events (2018–2020), visiting researcher appointments at institutions like 3SR Laboratory (2017) and Politecnico di Bari (2020), and editorial contributions. Her research spans geotechnical engineering, powder technology, and multi-scale modeling, with applications in soil stabilization, industrial powder handling, and eco-mechanical systems.
